health insurance

I have health insurance with IMSS. I've had it for about 5 years. It's a bit of a hassle to get, with the forms and all.
The price is reasonable, but I only plan on using it for emergencies, since the cost of a doctor's visit is so low. I've also had a hip replaced here, but it was done privately, costing much, much less than it would have in the states.

I have friends who have the free local insurance, which is good, too. Access to the local clinic is free, and the service is outstanding. A couple of years ago I was bitten by a local dog, and not only did they take care of the bite, the monitored the dog for ten days to make sure it wasn't rabid.

Hope this helps!

Many thanks.  I feel much better knowing that it is available for really seriou situation.

What does the IMSS insurance cost i know a Mexican Citizen that Desperatly needs insurance he is 88 years old

In April 2013, I paid $3,733.30 MN for the year.

in 2014, it was $4,650. MN. I am 80. The private practitioners I have found are very good, reasonably priced, and don't require long waits. However, I will keep the IMSS in case of an accident or something my kids would have to pay for. The price seems to go up about $1,000. MN a year, which is pretty good..

At the present exchange rate, it costs me about $350 US a year--very rough calculation!
