Health Net, California's third largest for-profit HMO, is offering the state’s first private health insurance with coverage in both Mexico and the United States. According to the Los Angeles Times, Health Net estimates that 600,000 people from Southern California cross into Tijuana each year seeking medical care. The plans cost as little as $75/month for 19- to 39-year-olds and $300 for families and will be marketed to the 2 million uninsured Latinos living in Los Angles, Orange, and Ventura counties, many of whom are self-employed or work for small companies.
