Free Healthcare

I said I would mix the good with the bad.  Here is something that may surprise you.

Those who rent from me are always surprised when I tell them that they can go to the hospital if they get sick, and it all will be FREE.  No hospital bills coming. Say good-bye to health insurance.

I have two kids that were born here, Thomas (8) and Daniel (5), and they were both born by cesarean section.  Total cost for the pair?  Around AR $50.00 !!

I had to buy a 'gafa' which is an elastic waste band to support her abdomen after surgery.  Then there were a couple of things she needed to bring with her.

In both cases, one in Capital and the other in Tigre, the doctors spoke English and were very nice.  Both doctors work at private hospitals as well as public ones.

Thomas (5 min after birth)

      Daniel (1 hour after birth)      

I have gone to have my eyes checked, and I received a prescription for eye glasses, was sent to another specialist for Glaucoma, and am now under medication for that as well.

Ambulance service is also free.

Prescriptions are not covered. If the hospital has the medicine on hand, they will give you your first doses.  Otherwise, you will have to pay your own pharmacy bills.  Sorry...
