Mexico: f/n over whelmed ?:

I remember feeling that way before coming to Mexico eight years ago. It was like trying to swim in a sea of chaos! I am almost reluctant to suggest anything for fear of contributing to overload, but I will tell you this: It gets better! You sort things out one step at a time. Take it slowly. I think that reading is better than talking to people (less confusing, less mere opinion, and more genuine information) and there are good books. I like to think I've written one of those (about medical care and insurance), but perhaps some of the readers here will suggest others. God bless you and trust that there actually is a better life ahead. Best wishes, Monica Rix Paxson, researcher and author of The English Speaker’s Guide to Medical Care in Mexico

Mexico: HIV Med Costs/Health Insurance:

If you obtain a resident's visa, you will qualify for Seguro Popular (public insurance and healthcare charged on a sliding scale) and and they have a program specifically for those with HIV/AIDs that includes antiviral treatment. Please check my book, the 4th Edition of The English Speaker's Guide to Medical Care in Mexico for information on both Seguro Popular and more specifics on the HIV/AIDS program. It is available in print and as an ebook on Amazon.com. Best to you, Monica Rix Paxson, medical researcher and author

Mexico: Doctors and Hospitals:

You might want to check out this book. The resources are recommended and, most important, they speak English. (Those are the difference between the listings in the book and a phone directory.) http://amzn.to/1Q9l3aW

Mexico: spuld I go for it and start I new life south of the border ?:

Sure, why not? As long as you learn Spanish before you come and can document $1,500 a month in independent income. It's probably a little early for a laid back lifestyle, but why not as long as you don´t mind making next to nothing and working 6 days a week like most people do here.
