- Henri J. Barkey, Department Chair and Cohen Professor of International Relations, Lehigh University"This is an excellent, well-documented and carefully organized analysis of a type of travel that is not new but which has grown and changed dramatically in the last decade. This book is destined to be a benchmark study. Packed with insights and startling statistics it is also blessedly free of jargon, making it a superb resource for both scholars andstudents alike."

- Linda K. Richter, Kansas State University"The authors in a well-written style have captured a fascinating transition in our out-of-control health delivery system, which has provoked an exodus of our citizens to look for more affordable health care solutions overseas than they can obtain in the United States. It documents and captures this important and developing trend to seek expert and quality care somewhere other thanone's own hometown. This is a must-read for the public as well as our health policy leaders, hospital CEOs and academia." - Robert Schwartz, M.D., President of the Medical Staff, Jackson Memorial Hospital, and Professor and Chair, Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
