Don't skip on the insurance. My last trip to an emergancy room, which required some tests but ended up not requiring treatment, cost $3500. My broken ankle, back in 1999 cost $45,000. It would be a lot more expensive now. I live in St. Petersburg, Florida. Prescriptions can be not expensive, but outrageous. If you are on any long-term medication, try to get a full three months supply and bring it with you. Some things are fairly cheap. You should be able to get an idea by checking prices at US on-line pharmacies. Chekc Wallmart.
