This is especially for those that think I am crazy for moving to Costa Rica. The hospital folks said if I wanted to make monthly payments for a year then the total bill would be $1,124.00″

“That was so cheap as to be amazing. However, if I wished to pay cash, I could get a significant discount. I asked for the discount and paid on the spot. I had to pay only US$637.00! Incredible! The only thing that does not include is the ground and air ambulance rides which I will be billed for separately.

So, if you are still wondering about medical care in Costa Rica, it’s great and EXTREMELY affordable. I almost fell off my chair when I was told I only had to pay US$637.00 if I paid in cash. Ya gotta love this place! Pura vida!”
