I don't disagree. You do what you need to do for your family and yourself.
If someone wants a reduced-fee health care insurance plan that relies on 'medical tourism' for expensive procedures and an insurer wants to provide such a plan, that is a personal choice. Like most things in life, there are cost trade-offs, and convenience is the first factor.
