Choosing health care for newcomers

hospital alemán can get very busy.

True that. H.A is good. but sometimes waiting times are like mind blowing.

high quality plans for 65 years or older could be 250 -300 usd a month per person

That would roughly be the monthly premium for Medicare Part B which covers outpatient services although I suspect more services would be covered under an Argentine plan.

Correct. OSDE, is the way to go.

I am still qualified under the plan "joven" of OSDE. So the 210 plan would cost ~8.700 a month. Next year, however, I will no longer be in the "joven" gap, is it safe to assume they will schapp me with a 75% increase? I read that the courts have recently ruled the the prepagas cannot increase your rate simply because you turn a certain age as long as you have already signed up for the plan before you move into a certain age group. Is it so?

Hi, can anyone please share the average rates for OSDE and Swiss Medical? I've seen posts from 2010 saying it's around 1000 ARS/mo. I'm guessing it must be double (or triple or more now)?

Forget the Big Mac: my personal measure of inflation in Argentina is the Alfajor Index (©®™ me). Right now your AR$1000 will just about buy you one box of a dozen regular Havanna alfajors or a box of nine of the Havanna 70% cocoa variety.

Aún estoy calificado bajo el plan "joven" de OSDE. Entonces, el plan 210 costaría ~ 8.700 al mes. El año que viene, sin embargo, ya no estaré en la brecha "joven", ¿es seguro asumir que me darán un aumento del 75%? Leí que los tribunales han dictaminado recientemente que las prepagas no pueden aumentar su tarifa simplemente porque cumple cierta edad siempre y cuando ya se haya inscrito en el plan antes de pasar a un determinado grupo de edad. ¿Es tan?

no le aumentarán por la edad, sí por inflación
