Yes, I do. From the few folks I have talked to about it plus many forum postings, people here seem very happy with the quality of care they have received and the cost -- and most of these have gone to private physicians/hospitals, not public ones (which are even cheaper but have longer waits and probably not as nice facilities). After getting used to how health care works in the US and Canada, most expats here seem to be very pleasantly surprised with things like $30 doctor visits and cheap meds. Not to mention shorter wait times to get in. And, get this -- quite a few doctors here make house calls!
