Can anyone tell me about the medical insurance that's available to Dominicans? My novia has an asthmatic and, I'm pretty sure, hyperactive 3yo son. She lives in Santo Domingo and is unemployed. At least one night a month she ends up in the hospital on an emergency basis with her son. Is there an insurance plan available that they could benefit from? Or perhaps the public health system is decent. She seems to have proper medicine and doctors. Since she speaks no English and I have little Spanish it's hard for me to understand the situation. Chris Colon, are you an MD in Santo Domingo? At any rate, any info would be appreciated. - DW
