Healthcare in CR is very good and has been on par with the US for a fair number of years now. The difference is the cost - a quick example...
The cost for a family of four seems to be around $250/year - this includes *all* healthcare - dentistry blah. There are also private clinics and it's the same docs in both - they may devote half a day to each.
There is also a growing market for "surgical vacations" where people from other countries (and a fair number from the US) come here to have ops - some of these are major, like bypass heart surgery, some trivia like tit lifts etc. The difference in cost varies, but generally around 25% - 33% of the cost of the same op in the US.
Only been near a hospital once here - and care/service was excellent.
