    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    I beg to differ but all citizens and inhabitants are covered by the public health system. The elderly have PAMI and they receive all their medication for diabetes and chronic conditions for free.

    Some restaurants charge a bit more when you pay with credit cards, foreign or not. I am guessing this is the case. They prefer debit or cash.

    Plenty of fruterias let you pick your fruits and vegetables... I do not shop where they pick it for me because they tend to give you what is going to go bad soon.
