Thanks but no thanks I will pay for mine. I love being a properous producer that does not need hand outs. Espcially after seeing what is not covered in FREE health care.

Why, yes, it should fit your needs (and personal preferences) rather well.

If you ever need a colonoscopy you will discover that the "free" healthcare plan does not include the "chemical enema" that you would normally drink the morning of the procedure. Instead, they will blast your colon with a garden hose for a couple hours.

Neither does the plan provide a general anesthesia for this procedure, but you won't feel a thing. Before they begin they'll just ask you to inhale deeply as they give you a can of raid cockroach spray point blank.

And if they find any polyps they will cauterize them with a coat hanger in an extension cord tied to the end of a broomstick.

Salud!

PS: Sometimes you get what you pay for. Sometimes you get what you deserve.

There are lots of newcomers to Buenos Aires who just might not be aware of that fact as you are. The purpose of this forum is to SHARE information, isn't it?

The purpose is also to make the newcomers aware of what is in store for them if they take the freebies.

Not every newcomer can afford OSDE 310. If they're young and well, they don't need it anyway.

Jantango, the way you wrote it seems like only here is lije this (caba) and ut is thanks to Macri.


My 2 cents is go to Hospital de Clinicas that belings to UBA and they are foreigners friendly.
