Why Costa Rica?

the development of preventative and curative medical treatments, placing it with Canada and the United States, in the top 25 in the world. In fact, this small tropical paradise surpasses the United States in both life expectancy and low infant mortality.

The average routine visit to a private doctor in the capital city of San Jose may cost between $20 and $40 (U.S. dollars).
