Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Malacatos?
When we asked expats in Malacatos if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Malacatos, they wrote...
"I have chosen to keep both my US Medicare supplemental and also IESS public insurance here in Ecuador. As you may know the local healthcare here has been experiencing EXTREME financial difficulties so I haven't been so quick to drop my Medicare in the US. I am three years out of cancer and just don't want to take a chance yet in depending on soley on IESS. I've unfortunately watched it fail horribly for some friends. At least with both, I know that I can always return to the US if I need advanced healthcare. If you do plan on dropping it, it's one of those things that needs to be done from the US so something to keep in mind. For me the price is worth the piece of mind to keep both and it's honestly about the same price of getting private insurance here. I pay $170 supplemental in US and $78 here for IESS. Private insurance because of my pre-exisiting here was quoted at $350. Hope that helps! Just my experience," explained one expat living in Malacatos, Ecuador.
