BEING THAT I'M UNINSURED...

Costa Rica was the perfect place to take on an ear infection! A few days ago, I started to feel a sharp pain and stuffiness in my right ear. If I had been in the US, a doctor's visit and prescribed antibiotic would have cost me a small fortune I don't have at the moment. Lucky for me, I called my local drug store and not only did I not need a prescription, but the antibiotic was delivered to my apartment late at night at no extra cost. The total cost for a 3-day supply of meds? $12 bucks!
