Best Places In The World To Retire

Medical expenses in general are drastically lower in Mexico compared to the US.  For example, something as simple as a doctor’s visit walking into an emergency care facility or urgent care facility in the US can cost $200 or more before tests, before your prescription, before your x-ray, or whatever it is you need. Alternatively, if you go somewhere like Mexico it could cost anywhere from $20 to $60 for a doctor’s visit. So it’s a significant reduction in cost in Mexico; a fraction of the cost in the US. I believe that the staffs, like nurses, working in the hospital in Mexico are making a lot less per hour than the nurses in America.  And, they definitely provide comparable quality.
