I love so much about the Buenos Aires public transportation system. Many of the stations are beautiful and artsy.

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...
