I have never had any one say to me that the health care is great.聽 In fact most of the time it sucks.

Planner...can you tell me, do people sign up for local insurance if they鈥檙e just visiting for or only after they鈥檝e moved and staying for longer than 2 months?聽 My concern would be that I visit this summer for a few weeks to a month, need health care for some reason and have to try to use my US insurer.聽 Thanks for info.

Hi Tex,聽 sorry I missed this earlier.聽 So if you are coming for a brief time get travel insurance!聽聽You can get both coverage by the day or the week for medical expenses here and you can get travel medical evacuation insurance.
