You know Hook, I have to admire you paying out of pocket. There are some very well off Americans in Ensenada that want to get everything for free

Maybe I'm just jaded by the cost of procedures in the U.S. but the cost of basic procedures from the good doctors and the good hospitals in Mexico are
basically cheap enough for me to pay out of pocket for those, too. So, dealing with the questionable quality at Seguro Popular approved facilites for
basic procedures isnt worth it to me.
I gotta ask the wife what I paid for my first colonoscopy down here at the top hospital in Hermosillo, Sonora. It was about one quarter of the cost of
my last one in the States. Included some minor benign polyp removal. Included GENERAL ANESTHESIA, of which they didn't inform me, in advance. I've
never needed that in the past. Always a surprise or two in Mexico. There, that's probably enough details when it comes to colonoscopies, eh?
Even the generic drugs at the Farmarcia Similares are so inexpensive that I dont bother with the hassle of actually trying to go through a health care
plan for drugs. | |
