Guanajuato Health Care

[MNWildRose]

Guanajuato, Here We Come! Well, probably not for 1-2 years, but REALLY looking forward to moving to Guanajuato - we're pretty sure it's the place for us. (Though still open to hearing about other wonderful, not-too-large, mountain cities in the area.)

Hoping people in the "know" can point me in the right direction to figure out our health care options.

We feel we will need some level of health insurance - at least for "catastrophic" issues that hopefully never become a reality. Though Jim, my husband, and I feel very fit and healthy, we do have some pre-existing conditions which seem to be an obstacle to getting insurance.

I've heard that getting Mexican insurance once in the country will be our best option. I'm trying to learn about the public insurance and if it might be a viable option for us. Also, hoping there might be a private health care policy that will cover us. But getting some answers on insurance before we "take the plunge" will be important to us.

I'd love hearing anyone's thoughts on health care in Guanajuato. If anyone can share any contacts with insurance agents - preferably English-speaking - that I can discuss this with, that would be invaluable. I'd welcome a private message, if that's what is recommended, if you have a particular person or business to suggest I contact.

Any Guanajuato expats out there? If you're willing to share some of your experiences (in general), be open to occasional questions - that would mean a lot to me!

Hoping to hear back from some of you!
