    Resumen Este artículo estudia las causas endógenas y exógenas de los altos precios de los bienes y servicios médicos estadounidenses, y su relación con el desplazamiento sanitario internacional de sus pacientes a través del análisis económico y normativo sobre las disposiciones legales de la atención médica nacional. Se encuentra que la desregulación de los agentes del sector salud ha provocado un aumento de los costes directos e indirectos con efectos muy perjudiciales para los pacientes. Este artículo contribuye al nuevo conocimiento ya que identifica a la concentración de mercado, y desregulación federal como motivantes del desplazamiento de pacientes a otros destinos con fines médicos.

    Abstract This article studies the endogenous and exogenous causes of the high prices of US medical goods and services and their relationship with the international health displacement of their patients through the economic and normative analysis of the legal provisions of national medical care. It was found that the deregulation of health sector agents has caused an increase in direct and indirect costs with very detrimental effects on patients. This article contributes new knowledge since it identifies market concentration and federal deregulation as motivators for the displacement of patients to other destinations for medical purposes.
