I am a 75 yr old Retired U.S. Marine moving to Cuenca, Ecuador for final Retire. Found a great lawyer through this forum. Issue: I will get the Government Insurance for about $70.00 I have had two open heart surgeries and diabetes and also use lots of Prescriptions. I am not a wealthy man by any means. Love to know from several of you if I can get proper treatment from the Govt Insurance or do I need a private plan to go to the best Hospital in Cuenca if things go sideways. Just the real fundamental truth here, this is so important to me. Remembe I am not a wealthy guy. Capt Ron USMC Ret.

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE ANOTHER VICTUM OF THE US MEDICAL MAFIA.
IF YOU ARE TAKING A LOT OF PRESCRIPTIONS, YOU AND YOUR HEALTH ARE BEING VICTUMISED BY THE MEDICAL MAFIA. When you get here, find a really good natural doctor or even a native shaman.
Your multiple heart surgeries, and your diabetes, tell me you need better care. Most cardio vascular, and the diabetes can be treated with out all the drastic and harmful treatment you have been the victim of.

Well the nut wagon answered you first. Since Laddied is a much sought after Md all I can offer you is my experience. IESS is fine. If you can afford another ins, by all means get it. IESS is sometimes very slow. Next make sure you find out what prescriptions are available here. They will probably be cheaper, but IESS. probably won't have all of them.
Of course if you want to visit a Shaman it's usually only about 20.00 for an hour or so. After getting whipped by try branches, having alcohol spit on you and cigarette smoke blown on you, you will feel better just getting the hell out of there.
Folks like Laddied will tell you how bad modern medicine is, until they fall sick themselves. But hell it's only your life, not theirs.
Hell coffee enemas are also great.
Nothing pisses me off more than some idiot messing with someone else's life.

Well, well, well, here is my old friend remoore, treating us to another amazing display of arrogance and ignorance. Where did you get your degree in medicine?
I have 7 years of university education and graduated cum laude, with a masters degree in biology. Something most md's seem to have skipped.
I have had the good fortune to spend hours talking to some of the greatest alternative Doctors in the world.
I became interested in health, nutrition, alternative medicine, and exercise physiology while in college. I have independently studies these subjects for the last 40 years.
Your so called modern medicine is usually 40 years behind modern science. They fight to avoid moving forward.
Most MD's today are just drug salesmen.
I have 100% success rate in curing adult onset leukemia, total remission in 90 days, no adverse side effects. I have not had the opportunity of treating a child yet.
100% success rate shrinking enlarged prostrate, with a simple herbal tea. 100% success rate lowering high blood pressure, cramps, and headaches with safe effective mineral supplement.
Did you know that MD's do not study nutrition 5 minutes in school, but they will tell you what to eat. They do not study pharmacology but will tell you what drugs you need. The pharmacist who studies drugs for 5 years is allowed to count the pills the MD in his ignorance, has prescribed.
Today they get a commission for each prescription the hand out, and they are monitored by the drug companies and if they do not prescribe enough of the companies product they will get a visit from the company rep.
So if you want to be thrown under the bus by Doctor Remoore and feed the corrupt medical Mafia, that is your privilege, If you want safe effective medical care, do not take any drug, until you go on line and read the 5 pages of precautions and side affects that the good Doctor never bothers to read. The good Doc only knows what the latest drug salesman had told him.
also study what modern alternative and natural medicine has to offer in the way of safe, effective and reasonably priced medical care. You might be amazed.

REMOOR...ROTFLMAO...Don't hold it in. Get it out there. I agree with you. My mother believed in that s##t, went against her doctor's advise and ended up a carrot herself...or was it cabbage? : >((((

I must have missed the article on your Nobel prize. Your nothing but someone who's read some crap on an alternate web sight and feels he's somehow can tell folks how to manage their health. Pretty easy when your not the one dying. If modern medicine is so bad why do we keep living longer and longer.
Grant you this, all alternative medicine is not bad, but for you to have the audacity to read some ones question on line and tell them to quit their medicine deserves any sane persons contempt.
As for you 100% percent cure rate for adult leukemia, yea sure thats why you are down here hiding out in Ecuador from the hit men of the AMA.
I also have a 100% rate of curing insanity, would you like me to treat you?
Yes we are all willing to believe that all MD's are idiots and you are the most intelligent man on earth.
Give me a break and quit telling people you know nothing about to change their medical regimen. It's dangerous and sickening

LADD....WOW....you're quite the man. I've read about you in all the ....oh, wait...I've never read any of your writings, except this one., nor heard of all these major accomplishments.. You are, however, excellent at making sweeping generalization by painting the entire medical profession with the same brush. I can only address my personal experience where a "voodoo pharmacist" convinced my mother to ignore her meds...and go "halo"...and after multiple TIA's...suffered a stroke and lived four years as a rutabaga. Not all "voodoo pharmacists" are bad but then again neither are all doctors. But I can tell ya,mine saved my skinny white ass. : >))))

REMOOR...CONCUR! For a minute there, I thought he was going to tell us that he had used mud to make a blind man see and that he had walked on water and...oh....no...wait a minute. That was some other miracle worker. : >))))

why in the world would you move to a foreign country with all of those medical problems? Wouldn't you be further ahead to stay in the USA with medicare and VA medical treatment at your disposal?

PA,you have to understand, these miracle workers never respond once they are challenged. I've challenged Laddied many times before. He is a fake and a dangerous person. When he is confronted by folks like us he can't answer because he is a fake.
He can't admit that there is a place for regular medicine and some alternative medicine to get along. He is a person who has a God complex and thinks he is smarter than all of us.
He doesn't have time for people like you and I who have been saved by traditional medicine, because we don't fit in his little world.
He should not be condemned for his beliefs, he should be condemned for telling folks that only his beliefs are right. HE IS A BAD PERSON.
