We (Lorraine and I) did join the IMSS system for a few years, (I think we were the ones who started joining when it was available for tourists) but at the price of medical care in Mexico, we stopped. Two years ago, I almost drowned, and after two ambulance trips I was treated in the Manzanillo hospital. Three days of hospital care, X-rays, and attention by 5 doctors (besides spanish, two spoke french, and two spoke english), the total cost, including drugs was less than US $275, Unless you need constant medical attention, I would not recommend the IMSS system. Lorraine had to stay in the hospital with me and she did not appreciate the lack of sleep. We will be in La Manzanilla in November and can answer more questions and give you more information at that time. We will be staying at Bungalows Michel.
