Medical tourism is increasingly popular. I've known people who have gone to Canada for cheap lasik. And I've read about people going all over for cosmetic surgery, dental surgery, and even essential health procedures that would otherwise cost 10–20× as much in the US. And some of the procedures aren't even approved in the US.So it got me thinking, why do you have to go all the way to another country for this? Why not float a barge in international waters off the coast of the country and shuttle patients out? It would open up this opportunity to a much broader range of the population, and it probably would be a good business too.
Probably some procedures you might not want to do in heavy seas, though. :-)
