There are at least 23 PICs that are 28 pins with 2 UART or USART interfaces.

There are 20 sixteen bit PICs with two UART interfaces - all 24 and 30
series, the least expensive of which appears to be PIC24FJ16GA002,
under $2 in volume.

Even comes with a FIFO on the uarts.

There are 3 18F parts with 2 USART interfaces, though they are future
products: PIC18F24J11, PIC18F25J11, PIC18F26J11
