I have a brother-in-law who is a radiologist and that field is being outsourced to India – makes sense to me, last time I went to Mayo Clinic, my X-Rays were read by a radiologist at the clinic in Rochester while I sat at the clinic in Scottsdale. Why not send X-Rays to be read by radiologists in India for a fraction of the salary?
And if anyone thinks our medical care is cheaper (or better) here in the U.S. than all the other industrialized nations with universal health care then you haven’t seen the figures.
Friend was just contacted for a teacher’s position in Scottsdale, pay $36,000, not bad you say? Then found out that health insurance benefit will cost $750/mo, so subtract $9,000 from that salary and you’re left with $27,000 – not even enough to live in Metro-Phoenix no matter how bad that RE crashes!
