I think more needs to be done to speed up the time it takes for people to receive essential surgery.</p> <p> Often the cost of care and other factors such as loss of income for people who can’t get about exceeds the cost of the surgery over the longer term. </p> <p>In the UK where I am living now medical insurers are starting to recognise that getting the patient back to work or at very least mobile over time is far more cost effective and hopefully eventually this will become the view of HMO’s and state funded health care schemes.</p> <h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em;">Related articles by other authors</h6> <ul class="zemanta-article-ul"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/enter/medlineplus/rss?%2520MedlinePlus%2520Health%2520News&url=http%253A%252F%252Fwww%252Enlm%252Enih%252Egov%252Fmedlineplus%252Fnews%252Ffullstory%255F94664%252Ehtml">Injections May Boost Knee Surgery Success</a> (nlm.nih.gov)</li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_92610.html">Blood Clot Threat After Surgery Worse Than Thought</a> (nlm.nih.gov)</li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/healthserviceindiaa/medical-tourism-and-knee-replacement-in-india-at-an-economical-budget">Medical tourism and Knee replacement in India at an economical budget</a> (slideshare.net)</li> </ul> <div style="margin-top: 10px;
