One more benefit of living in Mexico. When I go to the Docs, I can afford to pay cash. No S.S. number. No forms to sign. If I need medicine, I go to the farmicia and purchase over the counter like a bag of potato chips. The cost is about the same as my co-pay in the states but no deducible. Now I'll have chief head-up-*** jumping on to claim I'm a statist.
BTW, I really don't care if my health records are confidential or not. What really matters is that I go to the gym everyday, eat well, laugh a lot, watch my son grow into a fine person and keep my mind occupied.
