    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    Talk to them, they run a full checkup for prospective clients and they then tell you whether they would cover or not. Chronic conditions are expected, but as I mentioned before, it depends on the current stage your diabetes is at and how well controlled it is.

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    By law NO, in reality YES ( and you will need to file a legal dispute in order to get insurance unfortunately ). Obras sociales are available before age of retirement, some workers of specific industries get to keep them when they retire. All the rest will get PAMI ( similar to Medicaid )...

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    Diabetes has different stages, and based on that the risks are different. I am not sure how old you are, but if you are getting good care where you are, unless you are specifically interested in Argentina ( for its culture, you have family, etc ) I would prioritize health.

    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. If anyone has any accidents or events in the street they will be taken to a public hospital, if in...

    Surcharge for using a foreign card at a restaurant

    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.

    Latin America Sees its First Same-Sex Marriage

    I still don't get why people can't just mind their business, whatever you do in your intimacy is yours and only yours ( as long as it involves consenting adults ).

    How much more are you paying for your health (prepaga) insurance?

    That was the case but they changed the law some years ago and it became allowed. Some contracts have this clause and it has been considered legal.

    In general the majority of Argentines lack financial education, they tend to save in dollars, gold, real estate, CD deposits. Those that have a bit of tech skill might buy crypto.

    Are Most Fruterias Dishonest?

    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. But in general they are very " informal " ( things happen when they weight, with change, take only cash, no receipts, etc ). They are...

    Did I just get scammed? short term rental contract question..

    yes, sorry. Try to contact the landlord directly ( ask the building super and then if you close a deal give him a tip ) ie: bypass the agent if you are really happy and like the place.

    Any advice on buying a condo in BA. Trustworthy realtors and companies?

    I had a good experience with Remax recently and years ago with Achaval Cornejo, but I doubt they will do anything unless you are in the country. Having a reliable escribano is key. It also depends on what you are looking for and where.
