Answer 5

Hospitals, Doctors, and specialists are readily available throughout The Philippines.   I've used several.  Costs are reasonable on a pay-as-you-go basis.  If someone were to introduce insurance/managed care into the equation it would probably put the costs way out of reach for a lot of people who need the care more than they need the insurance.  It's not broke, don't try to fix it.
