Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

According to the site www.internationalliving.com, health care in Mexico is described as very good to excellent while being highly affordable, with every medium to large city in Mexico having at least one first-rate hospital. In fact, some California insurers sell health insurance policies that require members to go to Mexico for health care where costs are 40% lower. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_Mexico

For those of us without medical insurance, Mexico is an excellent option. I contracted a very serious staph infection last month from a cut on my leg. My doctor's visit, exam, diagnosis and treatment, which included a courses of both injectable and oral antibiotics cost a total of $23.

If you are worried about having a heart attack, then you probably should never venture further than 5 miles from a hospital, regardless of what country you live in.

Of course, a healthy diet and lifestyle is always a key to better health, not to mention low stress. All of which are found south of the border.

Personally, I'm into enjoying life while I can, rather than worrying about getting sick and dying.
