But if it can wait 1 day, you can fly to Ecuador or Mexico, and the reduced cost of the treatment will more than likely cover the cost of the flight plus some. (around $500 last time, if you don't fly 1st class). In my case, I always call ahead (before I fly over) and Dr. Acosta ALWAYS takes me as a walking "whenever I get there". Unlike here where it often necessary to wait a month or two unless the issue is life threatening.
As the old saying goes, Different strokes for different folks.

20 years ago would have considered the cost savings now look at things differently.
