Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Punta del Este?

When we asked expats in Punta del Este if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Punta del Este, they wrote...

"I have type 2 diabetes and have had cancer. No where that I applied would cover me here. At the British Hospital the nurse rejected me within 2 minutes because I was overweight. So I self insure mostly and use the doctors available through the ambulance service I belong to. You need to be signed up with one as there is no 911 ambulance service. My savings on medical care and insurance is about $5,000 a year from what it was," remarked another expat in Punta del Este, Uruguay.

"Healthcare and health insurance in Punta del Este, can be considered relatively affordable compared to some other countries, particularly the United States. The cost of healthcare services and insurance premiums may vary depending on the type of coverage, medical facility, and individual needs. Public healthcare is available to residents at a low cost, while private healthcare providers offer more comprehensive services at higher prices. Many expats and locals opt for private health insurance plans to access better quality care and shorter waiting times. Overall, the cost of healthcare and health insurance in Punta del Este is generally reasonable, but it is essential to research and compare different options to find the best plan for one's needs," said a member in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
