personal insurance 30mthyes for health insurance
tell me planner $ 30 seems very cheap for health insurance. ideally id like a plan that was robust, ie able to fully take care of any medical operations if required/or dental work. Medical bills are expensive as you know and im trying to believe that a $30 per mth insurance scheme will cover my a$$ entirely...but im having some trouble believing that !!!!!!!!!!!Do you have any further thoughts??? thanks again

i have my insurance with LA COLONIAL and it is a standard health insurance, does cover operations and such and costs around 1000 pesos a month - more or less 30 US dollars. if you pay more you will get better insurance, covering more complicated and expensive treatments....
