Cost of Basic Medical Cover for a Colombian in Colombia

Hello, if there are any cololombians on the board who know about medical cover (or others) would you pls be able to help me with some information as follow:

1) What is the average cost (ie montly) for an adult colombian between the ages of 20 to 30? (Normal cover - not top of the line, not bottom of the pit) - no pre-existing conditions.

2) What is a good company to have a policy under?

3) What options do colombians have who do not have medical insurance / cover who get sick or need specialist tests?

Any other inforation that can be provided.

Thanks for your help

In the country where we live there is universal coverage that is free to residents with restricted income. The only concern would be are there appropriate Doctors where you live, that accept that coverage. Medical bills here are not as high as they are in the States. A normal visit costs about $20,000 with NO insurance Mr. Bill Somondoco 0 funny, 0 helpful.
