Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Tamarindo?

"Healthcare and health insurance in Tamarindo can be expensive, depending on the type of coverage and services needed. Private health insurance is available, but it can be costly and may not cover all medical expenses. Public healthcare is also available, but it is limited and may not provide the same level of care as private healthcare. Additionally, some medical services may not be covered by public healthcare, so it is important to research the options before making a decision," explained one expat living in Tamarindo, Costa Rica.
