That`s the site of the Dominican Social Security. I don`t know much of the system, but what I understand is that to be "active" on the Social Security you have to pay a certain fee. So I don`t really know if that works. Anyway, it`s better to stick with a private insurance than with the goverment`s. There is allways Medicine and it really works.

I believe you are right, Sanson. I'm sure that somebody who knows more than I do will soon post, but it is my understanding to be covered you must be employed in a business, etc., that is under the social security system and that payment into the fund is made by both the employer and the employee.

Free, my ass!

If you REALLY want free health care, go sit at the government clinic for about 3 days and wait for it. Then, when you see the doctor, he will tell you which drugs to go buy at the farmacia, because the clinic won't have anything to dispense, because they haven't gotten any money from the government for 4 months (or more).
