Employees who opt for India would get to take along a family member, says Darrell Douglas, vice president of human resources, and the whole experience, including a recuperative stay at a hotel, would be covered. IndUShealth, a medical tourism start-up in Raleigh, N.C., will make all arrangements and coordinate care between U.S. and Indian providers. The sweetener: the company will share with these intrepid employees up to 25% of savings garnered from the outsourcing...
...rebate. Sounds like a bargain, but would people actually travel 10,000 miles for medical care just to make a few bucks? You bet. Polls commissioned by Milstein suggest that few consumers would opt for surgery abroad for incentives below $1,000. But raise the ante above $1,000, and the equation changes. Among people who have sick family members, about 45% of the underinsured or uninsured declare they would get on the plane; even 19% of those who have insurance say they're game. Above $5,000, the percentage of takers climbs to 61% and 40%, respectively...
...sweat row. These are colloquial terms to the lightweights, almost as commonplace or ordinary as is wearing a trash bag to the MAC, QRAC, or Newell Boathouse to erg for 45 minutes.

The rundown neighborhood is packed with cinder-block shacks, and its streets are filled with sewage. Most vacationers in Venezuela would opt for the country's tropical Caribbean beaches. That's why neighbors peered out of their windows inquisitively when a recent caravan of Americans climbed up the steep slopes of the country's largest barrio, which many middle- and upper-class Venezuelans dare not enter. The group, from professors to real estate agents, ages...
...opportunity to do so over the past year—first in its failure to pass direct elections, and now its perplexing efforts to maintain a third committee when there’s no reason for it to be maintained. We remind students that they have the right to opt-out of the UC term-bill fee in protest of the recent UC delinquency. If our elected government continues to fail in its efforts to reform, then it might be more compelled to do so with its financial solvency at stake. We are sincerely dismayed that UC members have become...
