Why is that the government's problem? Hospitals can just require payment in advance or the use of some kind of escrow service.

Thank you for calling me out on that. I didn't read deeply enough into the article. I stand corrected... the issue is more about tourists going to thailand without insurance.

Also interestingly enough while searching for the above article, it seems Chinese medical tourism in Thailand is also on the rise.
