A recent comment by President Obama has caused a stir in India. Below are some press clips.

“My preference would be that you don’t have to travel to Mexico or India for cheap healthcare,” he said in response to a question about why US health insurance won’t cover medical expenses incurred abroad.

So my question is this:  By the word “cheap” does he mean “low cost” or “low quality” or both. If he read my article — it means “low cost” because lot of healthcare being offered in India and Mexico is “high quality”.

Regardless, it is fun to speculate that President Obama is reading your articles in the Washington Post. Is he?
