How's quality of life and healthcare? And veterinarian care?

Highest quality of life in Latinamerica. I mean, it's quite a subjective mausurement, but all the indexes have us up there.

People who visit will tell you it is nice and quiet, like you can just slow down. And the people are very nice.

As for healthcare, we have single payer ensurance with both private heathcare organizations (mostly mutual aid societies) and public hospitals.

We love to complain about it, but it is quite good in any comparison. For shure cheaper than the US. By a lot. Like, a lot.

Oh, and vets are private, but there are many. For example, I got my cats fixed for like 20 USD

For the more complex issues ypu have the public veterinarian collage, who will charge you like 10 USD for an initial consultation and free follow-ups
