The Door is Open to Mexico - Medical Care
Medical care and insurance are important topics to all of us. The rising cost of insurance and medical care is creating major problems for US citizens. Mexico is an option. Many citizens living in the US are traveling to Mexico for medical and dental care and procedures. Naturally, a big question is, "What is the quality and affordability of medical care in Mexico?"
- This may be a surprise to some of you, but the quality of medical care is very good throughout the entire country. Some physicians and hospitals are rated as exceptional. Some of the reasons are:
- Almost all of the physicians and dentists have received much of their medical education in the United States or Europe.
- Many US physicians have moved to Mexico because of the exorbitant cost of medical malpractice insurance in the US and the constant threat of litigation.
- Mexico is not as hampered by the regulations and bureaucracy of the US government.
I visited a former professor from a major US medical school who is now in private practice in Mexico. He rated the care as excellent and said that he was far advanced in the procedures that he could legally use compared to the US. I have been with friends who wanted to check with a doctor in the middle of the night for a child's fever -- no problem and when I saw the prescription -- it was computer generated and had much more information about the problem, the medicine, treatment, cautions and it was legible. I also visited a little girl on welfare in a private room recovering from an amputation. I could go on and on -- but I am a believer in the excellent medical care.
And the medical care is affordable -- it is one fourth to one half of the cost of similar care in the US and sometimes less. I recently paid $25 for a visit to a private physician and he really listened to me and spent lots of time with me. I had stitches from the US removed and received several prescriptions.
Most US drugs are available in Mexico or a similar product can be found. Most of them cost 25% to 50% compared to the same drug in the US.
If you don't have insurance -- consider Mexico and you might also consider living there.
Mexico -- Isn't it about time you learned more about the opportunities for YOU?
