When we asked expats in Uruguay if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Uruguay, they wrote...

"I have type 2 diabetes and have had cancer. No where that I applied would cover me here. At the British Hospital the nurse rejected me within 2 minutes because I was overweight. So I self insure mostly and use the doctors available through the ambulance service I belong to. You need to be signed up with one as there is no 911 ambulance service. My savings on medical care and insurance is about $5,000 a year from what it was," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Punta del Este, Uruguay.

"Our experience in regard to a healthcare provider and insurance is a positive one. We are content that it covers our whole family at an affordable rate and is accepted by our local hospital. We are thankful locals and friends recommended this route," commented one expat who made the move to Paysandu, Uruguay.
