My cousins husband(doctor) had a clinic in Ft Lauderdale. They treated a lot of children and would run hundreds through at back to school time. Most of the patients were expat cubans.
I asked him if he had a lot of people handling all the paperwork for insurance, welfare and state aid? He said 96 or 97% paid cash.
