[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1586978, member: 24302"] Not exactly. Most countries in Latin America have at least one good hospital, up to U.S. standards. In Managua, Nicaragua there's the Vivian Pellas hospital, accredited by the AMA and affiliated with Johns Hopkins in Boston. Most doctors there speak English and were trained in either the U.S. or Europe. You can can pay them about $70 a month if I remember right to handle anything but the most serious operations. What comforts would you miss? There are multiplex theaters in most cities playing American movies in English with Spanish subtitles. Many larger cities have quality restaurants of international cuisine. There are malls too. It varies from country to country but most have high poverty. But not all are impoverished and you can live in a nice to luxurious neighborhood if you can cover it. I know people in Nicaragua who are renting very liveable 3 bedroom 2 bath homes in nice neighborhoods for $200-$250 a month. The single biggest problem these days is in many of the popular countries like Costa Rica, Panama, and Ecuador prices have risen dramatically in areas with large numbers of expats. Locals are cashing in. When I started looking at this 20 years ago you could live comfortably in many of these cities for $500 a month. But compared to the U.S. it's still very affordable. [/QUOTE]
