There is a chilling story in this week's PV Mirror. On page 28, Anna Reisman's "She Said..." column departed from insightful relationship-oriented entertainment to report the shocking story of a tourist who suffered a heart attack and then got a bill for $100,000 U.S. dollars - not pesos!
Even if this story is an aberration or a gross exaggeration, what if you were hit with a fraction of that poor tourist's bill? If not $100,000, what if your local hospital bill was $20,000 or even $10,000? Would your health insurance pay or would you be stuck with bill?
What if your life was on the line, would you want to trust doctors you don't know or go home?
