For drugs, the big brands can be just as expensive as US. Though overall, most drugs are cheaper. INS varies. You can bring insurance from elsewhere, lots do and it seems to work at the mainstream hospital. For a family of 4, the insurance I am guessing, private that is, could be around $2400 a year.
