I just find it hilarious that I asked the other day for cons to provide me with evidence that your average person is comng from all around the world to the US for health care to which they could not and then it was a violation apparently. Yet here is evidence to show many Americans are leaving the US for health care.

Hi Barbie, always good to hear from you in your newsletter. My wife and I recently returned from Puerto Vallarta.I had a bout with gout the first day there, went to a local clinic, the Dr. prescribed a steroid, and topical ointment, all for less than $15.00!! and the gout was history in 4-5- days..we are going back for 4 months this winter..I’m a believer in Mexican Health Care.

HI, Sarah:

Yes, you’ll be able to purchase the medications. But, remember, American health insurance does not transfer to Mexico. Medicare benefits are not available in Mexico. That being said, prescriptions are very, very reasonably priced in Mexico.

Thanks for sharing your personal experience of the high quality of healthcare that is available in Mexico. As more Americans struggle to find affordable healthcare, they will learn that traveling south of the border is a valid option.

Barbie: I have read somewhere previously about a health care (insurance ?) plan that one can buy for about $20 per month. Is that still available?

Hi again, Lowell, The Mexican health insurance will run you just a bit more than that – closer to $25 a month. IMSS available to anyone who lives in Mexico.

My husband is suffering from arthritis of his entire body including gout, fibromialgia, swelling, neck and shoulder pain and takes oycontin 80mg. My question to you is: if we move down there to Mexico will he be able to get the medications he needs? Thank you

SO IF I AM A DIABETIC INSULIN DEPENDANT WHAT TYPE OF INSURANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR MYSELF?SORTA CONFUSED ABOUT NO COVERAGE FOR THIS CONDITION AND IF NOTHING AVAILABLE THAN THERES NO REASON FOR MY WIFE AND I TO RETIRE IN MEXICO.

Hi Rick, The option you may want to check up on is private insurance in Mexico. That way, usually even with diabetis, which may not be covered for the first year (usually), you can get through and then you will be covered. The way to pursue this is to contact an insurance agent in Mexico, fill out the forms, and see what they have to say. Best to you, Barbie
