Ecuador Welcome Forum: Health Ins:

Why do so many gringo's think they can sponge of health system without really contributing .The health systems in the developed countries requires you to pay in a certain amount before you get any real benefit .not $70 a month and the think your entitled to surgery worth say $1000 .The amount of gringo's coming for medical reasons seems to be increasing is that because usa rips you off.Personally i think all gringo's should pay in a payment of $1000 before major surgery into the iess

Ecuador: medical costs:

http://cuencahighlife.com/new-legislation-will-eliminate-guaranteed-payments-for-social-security-system-voluntary-health-care-insurance-being-examined/ Personally i think the government is correct to start charging gringos much higher rate for medical services etc. who haven't paid into the Ecuador social system .I wonder if the amount of gringos will drop of because of it

Ecuador: Medical System Crisis in Ecuador:

I agree with ocean - why do the overweight and sick gringos seem to think that Ecuador owes them anything? Most have come down here because they can't survive on social security in the US and look to Ecuador to fund their healthcare. This is Ecuador, you move here to enjoy the facilities offered, not change them to become a look alike of the country you left, nor to benefit from the facilities without having paid anything towards them.

Ecuador: property after dying:

Dying in Ecuador 50% of the property goes to the children and you must get their permission to sell .from children is this correct even if you are no longer in contact with them and they are overseas.
