US Consulate General media
co-ordinator, Lorena Blanco, says violence is not frightening Americans out of Baja California Sur…
The media coordinator of the US
Consulate General in Tijuana, Lorena Blanco, stated at a Press Conference in La
Paz, that that are no records of American citizens leaving BCS due to recent
increase in violence over the last few months.
BCS is home to approx. 250 000
US citizens. And according to Lorena Blanco, their main complaint about living
in Mexico is the way in which hospital and ambulance services often extort them.
Forcing them to pay excessive medical charges.
Several hospitals in the Los
Cabos area have been heavily criticised in recent years for exactly this. In response, the US Consulate in Mexico
removed these hospitals from their recommended lists in April 2016. So, it is
definitely worth checking before you make a trip to Cabo.
