Medical Tourism Association Leads Webinar on US Healthcare Reform’s Effect on Medical Tourism

March 25, 2010 - PRLog -- The Medical Tourism Association conducted an educational webinar on the recent topic of the US Healthcare Reform and its effect on the Medical Tourism Industry. CEO of the MTA, Jonathan Edelheit, led the webinar and discussed different aspects of the Healthcare Reform that will increase health insurance costs for individuals, insurance companies and employers. The webinar proved to be a huge success, bringing in a record number of listeners.

There will be a second opportunity to take part in the free webinar on March 30th 2010 at 10:00 AM. Other topics to be discussed will be why the Healthcare Reform is not going to lower the costs for health insurance or healthcare in the US and how it may lead to long waiting periods for surgical procedures as seen in countries such as the UK and Canada.
