Dennis, I didn't think the bill was so bad. I had to be put under for surgical repair of a big, swollen gash on my head. So there was a surgery team, plastic surgeon, anesthesiologist, brain doc. whatever you call her, and a cardiologist to make sure I was OK to go under.

Yes, I think the call went out to all the specialists in town "We got a live one!", but I got the best docs and am glad I could afford it. Insurance from states paid it all and I'm sure they would have paid much, much more in the USA for the same treatments.




No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

In my opinion, positively the last word on whether or not "it is worth it"

"but I got the best docs and am glad I could afford it."

I would like to find out the salaries of the TOP EXECUTIVES of IMSS, ISSSTE and SEGURO POPULAR

And here I was thinking you only had a team of one. I'm surprised they didn't call in an accountant. They sure didn't miss anyone else. :lol:


Glad you're OK, Jefe.

These have all been some great replies. Not too surprisingly, people's experiences run the gamut from pleasant surprises to near disaster. I'm hoping to be prepared for when the time comes.

Not more than $50,000 American dollars a year, I can assure you that. Most doctors in IMSS make around $30,000 a year, that is why they work in 2 or 3 different jobs.

The pleasant surprises and near disasters happen in the US as well. Concentrate on getting down here, having a heck of an adventure, and find out where you want to live first. Everything else will fall into place, or not!

TOP executives? 50K? I mean the ones in Mexico. D.F. You know the ones that live in El Pedregal and Polanco.

Yes, their "working homes" not the ones in Cuernavaca nor Acapulco.
