    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    Hi Nikad, Thanks for you reply. So it is even worse than I feared. I am already over 65, so looks like Hospital Italiano is the only one I might qualify for, and even then it might be difficult and involve lawyers about the pre-existing conditions. I will try to contact them about it. My...

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    So here is a simple question I have been asking for months, but have not received a clear reply: Is there, or is there not, an age limit for Obras Socialies/Prepagado type coverages? Yes or No. If yes, what is it, or does it vary with plan ? P.S. I there anybody reading this older than 70...

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    Thank you for an honest and serious answer. I definitely think my health will be better protected in USA than Argentina. I feel sorry for all the diabetics in Argentina who are in their 70s and older, they are at very high risk and nobody seems to care. I feel I am much more fortunate by...

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    Really? how about tourists aged in their 70's or 80's? And what about local people, not tourists? Here is a scenario: I am sitting in a restaurant in Buenos Aeries, with no health insurance, and I have a heart attack. I am sure this happens quite often in reality, heart attacks are more...

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    That approach you suggest simply does not work for me. I cannot spend thousands of dollars and sit around for weeks or months in a strange country with no medical cover and not knowing whether I will get any or whether it will be affordable. I need to know what the solution is before I start...

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    OK well I have been emailing to "Sherpas" in Argentina, so I guess I will have to pursue my enquiries in that direction. I was hoping I could do the research myself via the internet, but all the insurance brokers in Arg will not talk to me without an Arg telephone number. Do you think a...

    also, I am married, so my wife and I would both have to pay the U.S.$1000/month Obrias socialies premium ..... this is would be more than the budget for rent...... I really do not see how this works for retirees in Arg ....

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    I am increasingly getting the feeling that I have missed the boat with regard to retiring in Argentina. The private medical system seems to be completely inadequate for retirees, e.g. when you get into your 70's and 80's. I have heard that the cutoff of Obrias socialis is 69 years. Then...

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    I am starting to think that since insurance premiums for me in Arg will likely be north of U.S.$1,000/ month, then I might be better off simply to pay cash every time I see a doctor in Arg, I heard visits are typically $25 to $50. My typical regime goes like this: I need blood drawn about...

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    What is the maximum age for Obras Socialis / Prepaga? Is there an age above which it is impossible to continue the medical coverage? In order to become Arg citizen I must stay in Argentina without leaving for two years. I think this might be difficult for me to achieve if dependent entirely...

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    It looks like the prices of Obras Sociales for me in Argentina will be much more expensive than Medicare in USA. USA Medicare costs me about US$300 per month, including Supplement. Prices I have found for Obras Sociales are these for a 40 year person, so for somebody older and with...

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    Hi all, I am thinking to move to Argentina to retire and apply for Pesionado visa. I have some pre-existing medical conditions, e.g. Type-2 diabetes. Can I get covered by an Obrias Sociales since I will not be working ? Or is that only for those who are employed/self-employed? The nomad...

    Which Type of Residency?

    Sounds overly complex. Why not simply have the cash sitting in USA account with monthly payments done by hand or perhaps automatically? Or is the trust a trick to make it look like it is coming from a third party?

    Which Type of Residency?

    Rentista is for passive income, not from employment, nor pension, those have different visas. Income can originate anywhere in the world, but I hear that it needs to be remitted to Arg bank account, and Migraciones will want to see them on Arg bank statements. Obviously it is better to keep...

    Argentine rules regarding receival of foreign pension

    Can it be deposited into a US dollar account? Or does it have to be pesified? I have heard that Western Union might qualify.

    Best country to move to when life in Argentina becomes intolerable

    Australia is one of the least affordable countries in the world. Real estate property prices in Australia are now beyond the reach of nearly all young Aussies.

    Best country to move to when life in Argentina becomes intolerable

    I am reading that prices in BA/Ar have now risen to the extent that they are on a par with USA, and it is no longer cheap to live there. I that true? What are the prospects for future inflation? Milei was supposed to make things better but it looks like at least in the short term he has made...
