These days, it’s clear that people are often incredibly passionate and stubborn about their beliefs and opinions. But despite the intractable positions held by many, I’ve also noticed that one thing tends to change people’s minds faster than any other: money. For example, I have relatives who faithfully search for a “Made in America” sticker before making any purchase and would never consider driving a Toyota or Honda, but are more than willing to purchase medication from Canada if the price is right.
And this same trend is becoming more common among U.S. employers and their brokers, as well. The U.S. has long been known as a top destination for those seeking medical treatment from around the world.
