At the same time, he sees fewer companies moving overseas strictly on the basis of cost. "Now it's R&D centers and also for market penetration," said Donovan, a principal at Wadley-Donovan-Gutshaw Consulting in New Jersey. This is where DR should invest some time: the offshoring of the burgeoning healthcare industry. On this point Dread and I appear to agree. DR could develop this sector massively. And given our close proximity to the US market all one would need is a good team and some investors to accomplish the task. There are many good surgeons and many nurses available. Good quality control and good accommodation with beautiful settings are available in DR. What's needed is the will, organization and cash to make it happen. Many countries have small operation up and running. With some having very high expectations of future growth possibilities. DR should advance on this front and not be caught once again behind the trend. "If you want to sleep well at night, it's best to avoid watching the making of sausages or politics."

And other procedures too. Take dental work. My mother-in-law just told me her friend in Spain is paying 18 thousand Euros for dental work. Man, I think this might be done for far less money in DR. There are many cost saving procedures that could be accomplished for massive savings in DR. Everybody would be better off.

When I say many nurses I refer to the many that offered a job might come, eg, from The Philippines and other places. And foreign doctors too. In Spain they have cut the salaries of many doctors by 25% due to the massive economic downturn. And remember, we not talking huge numbers here, at least, at first.
