    Prepaga Health Insurance

    That immense crowd at the Hospital Italiano gives me the creeps. So many patients waiting in line anywhere, it looks like a public hospital so depressing.

    Prepaga Health Insurance

    I'm considering dropping Hospital Italiano 'cause it's always so full with patients, long waiting lists and the quality of medics is not as good as expected. I'm doubting between Swiss Medical, but they have so many plans, I can't make a choice. Or is OSDE better? it cost a bit more. I'm 49...

    Quality Bike Store That Won't Rip Me Off?
