#1- Going Naked- The case of Gringos without locally obtained Health Insurance:

Today we follow a 70 something gringo's “boots on the ground” journey for his doctor prescribed tests at a private hospital/clinic. He is one of those older guys who must pay out of pocket since he doesn’t qualify for an insurance plan.
