National Health Care vs Mutualistas

There is public hospitals and Mutualistas. You can pay a monthly membership fee to join Mutualista and receive care from them, or if you work then BPS pays the fee for you (and your choice of Mutualistas is more limited).

I pay BPS about 1500 pesos a month for my maid and they pay her monthly Mutualista membership from that (and some other stuff). If she wasn't working she could chose to pay the membership herself... it would be between 1, 000 and 3, 000+ depending on which Mutualista and other factors.

You can also sign up with BPS as an individual and pay about $2300 pesos a month and get all the same benefits an employee would receive.

Lots of people have commented that the British Hospital is very difficult with respect to pre existing conditions and age. They are also the most expensive. Others with serious pre existing conditions (and old age) have comment that others have accepted them with few questions.

Go to Uruguay, have an adventure and explore and see if the place (and medical services) are right for you.
