With Silver Healthcare.gov insurance, i was quoted a bill of $17,500 for medical tests and 6 months of medication.

I flew down to Colombia:

* Specialty Doctor's visit: $35 x 2 vs $50 x 2
* Blood tests: $250 vs $1,820
* Medicine: $102/month vs $1,250 x 6
* Injection pen: Free via gov subsidy vs $200
* Flight to Colombia: $650 round trip
* Airbnb for a week: $244
* US insurance: $551/month

* Cost in Colombia: 244 + 650 + (102 × 6) + 250 + 70 = $932 without travel ($1,826 total)
* Cost in USA with insurance: 200 + (1250 × 6) + 1820 + 100 + (551 × 6) = $12,926

So Colombia is 13.87 times cheaper (or a 92.79% discount).
