Please note that we use the symbol “¢” for colones and the regular dollar sign ($) for dollars, for example: “The government still owes some ¢750 billion, or about $1.4 billion.” Figures are based from a $1 = ¢535 exchange rate.

The politicians, wealthy oligarchy and some expats who have to pay into the CAJA each month continue to go private doctors and hospitals or they make a trip to the US for medical care.

call me 2786-5555, and I will explain what is going on here. It is not what it seems. AND it is too long to type it out. This is all another way they are selling out CR.

The amount of this debt is incredible! To put it into perspective, one million seconds comes out to be about 11½ days. A billion seconds is 32 years. And Solis apparently believes he can borrow his way out of debt. Absolutely incredible!! There will never be enough money to pay this debt, so bye bye health care.

Paying down this debt is music to my ears.
It feels so good to be mortgage free and car payment free. As with any country,debt free is a good place to be.
