> this surgery clinic will treat your appendicitis for less than the average patient's deductible + coinsurance. I'm including the flight + hotel stay in that estimate.

Are there really people flying to avoid overpaying for an appendectomy?



Boy, I had to have an appendectomy and I could barely stand. I can’t imagine flying for one, or holding off to get everything arranged. I suppose I may have had less time to plan than is implied here: went to bed fine, woke up in agony.
