Earlier this year she had a minimally invasive heart valve replacement (instead of opening all the chest they did via a smaller cut on the side). She was walking out of the hospital 4 days after the surgery.
We paid about $6500 USD which included everything. The mechanical valve, surgery, hospitalization, etc.
Some people pay a lot less than that since the price is according to a socio economic background check the hospital makes.

I live in Mexico with my Mexican wife.

In the US, the valve would have cost that.
