And also; great medical system. Wife was hospitalised at a public hospital and they took great care of her. Just bought private insurance that even covers dental, root canals etc. It’s usd 120 and it also covers you abroad up to €100.000 per year.

Albania got great beaches but in terms of life you give up on a lot of things. Spain you have it all and more.

How much would this cost in Argentina now?
In Argentina they quoted me usd 350 and limited to their hospitals without any dental or international. As a family it’s usd 850. In Spain same coverage like the one I got for myself for four of us is usd 250.
You might get more precise recommendations if you talk about what kind of lifestyle you do and activities you have. All major cities will have good nightlife and culture, but different kinds of culture and offerings. If want to go camping every weekend, you have lots of options all up the andes. If you want to dance samba on the beach, etc ...

I'm struggling with a health problem and have a OSDE 220 plan . It's coverage is límited and it's monthly fee is close to US 300 per month . Many medicines are off the plan and their costs are astronomical at least 4 times European prices Even if Made in Argentina .

If you're willing to go further north consider visiting El Salvador. I was there for the first time about a year ago and was amazed with the country. First place I have travelled to where people were actually proud of their president, and everyone I ran into was nice and welcoming. Definitely an up-and-coming place, pro-active business wise, and many people were returning to the country after living abroad. On the downside, it does not have the same European-style culture you find in BA.
Thought I'd share an update for those wondering:
We've had several issues with our apartment since our move, and after going back and forth with the landlord trying to get him to either let us fix things, and discount the cost from the rent, or have him fix it, his response was that he'd rather comp a month's rent and return our deposit if we're willing to move rather than fix things.
Given how much more expensive things have gotten since I originally posted this, and the general pessimistic outlook towards the future, we've decided to take him up on his offer and will be moving to Brazil.
I've also since confirmed with the Federal Police in Brazil that per the Argentine-Brazilian treaty, Brazil for it's part does not make a distinction for naturalized/natural born Argentines, so I'm able to request permanent residency once inside Brazil at the local division branch of the Policia Federal do Brasil, and will be doing so accordingly.
I'll be sharing a list of things I have for sale, basically all sorts of furniture and some electronics like TVs; it's cheaper to buy new things in Brazil than to ship the things we have for anyone who might be wondering.
I love Argentina, but everyday I see more and more short term and long term problems growing on the horizon coupled with the CoL spiraling out of control that leads to believe we're headed towards an adjustment that will make the last year and a half seem like walk in the park, especially as the IMF loans come due and we continue to have net negative reserves/hard currency flow.
As always, I'm hopeful that I will be proved wrong, I want Argentina to succeed, but we all know what the definition of insanity is... Anyways, we have an out, and we're taking it. I hope anyone else who wishes to leave is able to, and that things go well for both those staying and leaving. Things were bad with Alberto, and they're bad now too, and everyone on this forum and in this country deserves better.
