have the same problem. I have not seen sleeping pills here and did not get it in hospital. I have had a doctor or two give me a benzo like klonipin . As a former psych nurse, I am begging you not to let them give you a psych drug like quetiapine (seroquel), commonly given in small dose for sleep. This kind of drug is dangerous. Take the benzo

I think you may be safe if a hospital takes it, but know of none so far. I have paid cash for 10 surgeries, including a couple of minor ones, back surgery, and TKA. The majority of specialist, I doubt it. Most work here once weekly for untaxed money (who cares?) Prices reasonable. No specialist is going to take Medicare. I have only part A, thinking I could fly home if I needed surgery inpatient. But I have had two emergencies and had to pay for them. Personally, I heard this rumor as well, but have not seen it or. Part B is useless. We expats are free money to outpatient providers. I live on very little, but can always afford the ajiic clinic and routine care as office visits are reasonable. This is a cash based society. More and more doctors and farmacias are taking credit cards. I would forget about B and C here,, at least C and you will not get prescription help at all, buy all is affordable. Hope that helps. When you are permanente, you can purchase government IMSS,, but no preexisting conditions on that one. There is free minor care at Seguro Populares, open to us that is really for poverty Mexicans, but will treat minor things. There is expat insurance you can purchase here. That is your best bet if you can afford it. I just cannot afford it
