Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Dominican Rep?

"Healthcare and health insurance in the Dominican Republic can be expensive, especially for those who do not have access to public health services. Private health insurance plans are available, but they can be costly and may not cover all medical expenses. Additionally, the cost of medical care in the Dominican Republic is often higher than in other countries, making it difficult for many people to afford the necessary treatments," remarked another expat who made the move to Dominican Rep.
