I fully agree that medical care can be excellent here, but what kind of "health care" would one hope to purchase for US$3 a day? My maid for three hours once a week costs more than that. The daily minimum wage here is more than that - closer to US$5 for someone working at 7-11 maybe.

Now, I fully expect to hire my maid full time when I get old and feeble and need looking after - but I suspect I will pay more than US$3! - and I won't expect her to provide much in the way of real "health care".

It is my thought that it is those people (who want $3 a day health care) who will complain about quality of care - no?
