Guadalajara: There are several very good hospitals in Guadalajara, both public and private. The private hospitals tend to specialize, so there are hospitals for cardiac care, cancer, etc. Some of these hospitals are world-class. There is a teaching hospital there too.

Insurance: Government health insurance covers public hospitals, doctors and prescription drugs, but private insurance is often needed for the private hospitals. Government insurance costs around $350 for a couple per YEAR, and private insurance runs from $475 and up per YEAR.
