He does not have any insurance. Hospital Aleman quoted him about 5,000 USD for the procedure. Can you recommend a hospital in the...

    MUST apostille FBI letter

    Eh, do you think that FBI agent is going to put a "No record" seal in front of a public notary and then show him his badge? I believe documents from selected state/government organizations are getting apostilled without going through public notary system.

    Hospital Aleman...ER Wait Time?

    They just keep a doctor on duty 24/7. La Guardia has a separate entrance from calle Beruti. I believe sign on the street does say Emergencia. You make it sound more complicated than it really is. Just talk to reception and tell them that you need to see a doctor. They will ask you whether...

    New Entrance fees for Americans

    Sure, I have a quote for you. Guess from whom? "Cuando poquísimos o casi ningún turista argentino venía acá, esto se llenaba y se sigue llenando de españoles, franceses, alemanes, americanos, ingleses que vienen a conocer o algunos otros que se van a El Chaltén ..." Discurso de la...

    English Pound collapsing

    The reality is that in principle there is no source of information that you can follow and make money on the markets in a guaranteed way. It is the nature of the beast.

    Europe in Risk

    Absolutely. For example, anyone who bought gold back in 1980 and kept it for 2 decades was about 50% down. Buying and holding gold was one of the worst investment strategies for quite a while. http://goldprice.org/30-year-gold-price-history.html
