My girlfriend and I recently took an around-the-world trip and insurance questions were one of the first questions people asked. (We went with Blue Cross Blue shield catastrophic plans and luckily never had to test their "claims" that they'd reimburse us for costs incurred while outside the country.) I'm a little worried about how obsessed Americans are with health insurance, which as you say is not the same thing as health care. It is worrisome to think about being able to afford adequate care, but I feel like many people worry to the point of paralysis. Good for you for not letting these worries stop you from pursuing your dreams.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181680526745143109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571147692199175550.post-24613039460984824462011-02-22T13:29:11.331-07:002011-02-22T13:29:11.331-07:00DAN's premium product which offers excellent e...DAN's premium product which offers excellent evacuation insurance (Preferred Plan) is only $75 / person / YEAR.

I suspect your correct about getting back into the US health insurance market due to the break in coverage if there are pre-existing conditions. As an aside, my wife received a root canal in La Paz in '09 that was less in cost than what the co-pay would have been for our US insurance. The work was excellent and done in a week.Neophyte Cruiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786143804921164212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571147692199175550.post-38093949102306607682011-02-22T05:24:50.720-07:002011-02-22T05:24:50.720-07:00This is really good information.
You're righ...This is really good information. <br /><br />You're right that the Mexican health care system does just fine for most people. I hear that more Americans are retiring there because of lower healthcare costs.<br /><br />As for your last point, counterproductive is right. Current research is finding that some people are actually at a higher risk from cancer because of an overdose of radiologic tests. Ridiculous, huh?Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13768027087753712341noreply@blogger.com
