Don't you get tired of fear mongering
I loved the Y2K scam. Made a lot of extra money traveling around testing computer systems for Y2K integrity. The other 2 scams listed are just rubbish IMHO. -

How can expats save on healthcare in Thailand each year?
Thailand has become a popular destination for expats, retirees, and digital nomads seeking a high quality of life at an affordable price. One of the major attractions is its affordable healthcare system, which offers excellent medical services at a fraction of the cost found in Western countries. From routine medical care to complex procedures, Thailand’s healthcare system is a cost-effective solution for expats looking to stay healthy while saving money. Healthcare Costs in Western Countries For expats coming from Western countries, healthcare can be a significant financial burden. Whether it’s high insurance premiums or expensive out-of-pocket expenses, the cost of healthcare in many Western nations is rising. Here are a few examples: High Insurance Premiums: Health insurance premiums in the U.S. are among the highest globally. On average, Americans spend $12,474 per person annually on healthcare, and individual premiums can exceed $400 a month. Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Even with insurance, many Western countries still have high out-of-pocket costs. In the U.S., an appendectomy can cost around $33,000 if you don't have insurance. Long Waiting Times: Public healthcare systems in many Western countries also face long waiting times for non-emergency treatments. The UK’s NHS often has delays of several months for non-urgent procedures. Healthcare Costs in Thailand Thailand has earned a reputation for offering high-quality healthcare at a fraction of the price found in Western countries. For the majority of treatments that expats may need, Thailand is generally cheaper and more accessible. Healthcare in Thailand is much cheaper than in Western countries, with significant savings across various medical services: Surgical Procedures: Cardiac surgeries in Thailand cost between $15,000 and $35,000, compared to $70,000 to $200,000 in the U.S. That’s a saving of up to 80%. Fertility Treatments: In vitro fertilisation (IVF) costs $4,500 to $7,700 in Thailand, while the same treatments in the U.S. can exceed $20,000. Cancer Treatments: Cancer treatments in Thailand range from $2,000 to $130,900, compared to the U.S., where treatments often exceed $100,000. Diagnostic Imaging: An MRI scan costs around $190 in Thailand, while in the U.S., it can average $2,611. General Medical Services: Routine care and dental services in Thailand are typically 50-75% cheaper than in the U.S. or Australia. Thailand is home to many private hospitals that offer world-class care. These hospitals often feature modern equipment, internationally trained doctors, and internationally accredited facilities, ensuring high standards of care. Quality Standards: Many private hospitals in Thailand are internationally accredited, ensuring they meet global healthcare standards. Cost Efficiency: Despite offering top-tier facilities and skilled doctors, private hospitals in Thailand charge much less. For example, a hospital stay costs around $100-$200 per night in Thailand, compared to $1,000-$2,000 per night in the U.S. Minimal Waiting Times: Private hospitals offer fast access to specialists and procedures, unlike the long waiting times often found in public healthcare systems in Western countries. How Expats Can Save on Healthcare in Thailand By opting for treatment procedures in Thailand, expats can enjoy significant savings on healthcare costs when compared to their home countries. Here’s a breakdown of how healthcare savings add up: Surgical Procedures: Cardiac surgeries in Thailand can save expats up to $55,000 compared to the U.S., making it an appealing option for those needing serious medical attention. Diagnostic Imaging: An MRI in Thailand costs around $190, compared to $2,611 in the U.S., saving expats approximately $2,421 per scan. General Healthcare Services: Routine check-ups and dental care cost 50-75% less in Thailand. For example, a dental filling might cost just $20 in Thailand, compared to $100 in the U.S., saving $80 per procedure.
