Rare compliment from me on Argentina, the health care is generally 1000x better than the US. Zero bureaucracy, doctors give you their personal WhatsApp, you don't fill out millions of forms, you see actual doctors rather than PAs and nurses. It was super easy for me here to get an MRI and x-ray and go see a specialist over a lingering injury and I paid cash for both, not more than $100 in total. Actual appointments with doctors are easy to get on 24 hours notice and paying cash for the appointments is like $15.
My co-pays in the US with my "good" health insurance are still outrageous, and even with a concierge service I pay $$$ for each year, it is hard to get a doctor to see me on 24 hours notice, and 95% of the time I am just seeing some disinterested nurse or PA trying to upsell me something.
Someone I know just got advanced surgery from supposedly the only surgeon in Argentina who can do it, and it cost $200,000 pesos. In the US, even with insurance, it would be 10x that, assuming a top surgeon would even agree to do it and could fit you in.
Anyway, I was thinking of getting OSDE assuming I spend 5-6 months a year in Argentina, but since health care is so cheap, what is the advantage of OSDE?
