I live here only since oktober in the Algarve. When I opened an account at the bank, I could also obtain a health insurance which was advised to m, I will have my invoices paid back 50%.
Also I was told that with this health insurance, when I had to go to a hospital, I was insured for
being taken to a private clinic, which was recommended. I hope I have helped you with this?
Kind regards,
Thesi

I don't know where you're from but about 100,000 people die in U.S. hospitals every year from infections they got while in the hospital. Portugal is listed by the WHO as the 12th best healthcare in the world. The U.S is listed as the 31st best. I'd take my chances.
