Not on a theoretical level, but how would you practically have to pay costs, access specialist doctors?

    Rural Guatemala and it's mostly done through mobile doctors because it's so remote. We have universal healthcare on paper but the government spends so little on it that the resources are awful and private care tends to be a lot better and trustworthy.

      I have been told that Guatemala is private insurance. I provide care in rural Guatemala (Huehuetenango) and was told that the natives have in reality no insurance. If they need medical care they have to travel to Guatemala City and pay privately. Is that incorrect?
