    Anyone who really, really understands the health insurance system?

    Still trying to figure out the healthcare system and health insurance in Buenos Aires. I have reached out to multiple insurers and am investigating others. Some cite insane rates (GeoBlue for expats -- $1,000 a month with a $1,000 deductible). Others deny coverage for anyone my age (72). One...

    Javier Milei Ended a DC-Sized Deficit in...Nine Weeks

    Yes, and 67% of the country’s children live in poverty and shipments of food to food banks have stopped. Starving the poor is an easy way to reduce a deficit . The GOP in the USA has tried that for years

    Bad bus service

    Is there a way to file a complaint about bus service? Today I was in a long line of people on Gascon at the corner of Corrientes waiting for collective 160. Collectivo 168 also stops there. In 28 minutes, four 168s stopped there. After 30 minutes the 160 finally arrived and was empty and refused...

    Another medical insurance question!

    I'm considering purchasing a Cigna outpatient and inpatient insurance policy (covering Argentina only). It adds up to about $600 a month. Any suggestions or recommendations? I'd love to find something less expensive, but being over 60 makes that difficult

    When I don't have a connection to my at home wifi service, I want access to wifi on the street so that I can search Google maps for a location (and find transit to it) and I can get access to websites, like those with news

I have two eSim cards, one with Verizon (for my 917 US mobile number) and one with Claro (for my Buenos Aires number) on my iPhone 13. I have a separate wifi account active in my apartment. But I...
