Reply #86: Maybe their insurance required transfer [View All]

I really don't know, but it seems I've heard that sending people back to their country of origin is routine when you have serious medical issues overseas. Maybe US insurance companies don't want people to know other countries really do have good medical care, and consequently don't approve treatment overseas. I don't know that for sure, obviously, but it wouldn't surprise me if he were required to be sent home to receive that "#1 in the world" health care. If I were that couple, I'd find out if insurance had anything to do with the decision to transfer him home.
