Private health insurance over 65
Does anyone have private health insurance in Argentina. I am interested in any kind of health coverage policy for someone over 64 (69). I see private companies on the net but little info is provided. Thanks. I am NOT interested in 'international policies'. They are really really expensive. In just a few countries you can buy 'country specific'. Again thanks.

My SA hospital experience
In Feb of this year while in MVD I became very weak and ill. While walking I became so weak I couldn't talk. I knew what it was and I stagered into a restaurant sat down and on a napkin I rote. Need a taxi or ambulance--Hospital or clinic--Low blood pressure. My waiter not able to read english took my note to another table and after showing my note to the guy there Called his manager who called a taxi. The taxi took me across town at no charge to a clinic. The taxi driver went into the emergency entrance and out comes a wheel chair. Within a short time I was in a large room with at least 30 patients. Lots of moaning and groaning. They took my blood pressure and confirmed that it was low I am not sure but I think it was 70/60. . The place was very old and in need of repair but clean. During my 12 hour stay I watched the cleaners wash the walls and floor with bleach more than one time.
There system of keeping tract of patients was interesting but I have no complaints about the way they took care of me. The clinic was free. Most patients appeared very poor. More than likely this is the only choice poor people have for health care. In the third world any health care is better than no health care. This was a small building next to a hospital. If a patient had health care insurance they could go to the big hospital. Most of the health care workers working in the clinic were volunteres from the main hospital. I must wonder if this isn't the same health care set up in BA. Don't know but wondering.
Argentine health insurance
I am planning to leave Sosua and move to Argentina (probably Cordoba). I plan on providing information on this subject from time to time. Not opinions. Real info for those who could use it.
