I am not here to fire guns..I am here to try and help and give people alternatives. I am only giving advice from my experience working for the
system. If someone wants to use the Internet to back them up, then so be it. It appears that they feel they know more than a health care employee.
I would respect an opinion from personal experience than from reading google search. You guys claim to know more, so I say have at it.

I am glad that you are promoting Seguros Popular and I support your efforts. All I have been asking from the very beginning is to not mention that it
is free. The premiums are on a sliding scale that has changed significantly in the last 4 or 5 years. I have helped over a dozen friends do their
applications and get signed up and because they read on this site some time ago that it was free, they felt like they were being set up for the
"mordida" when they were told that there was a cost. I have no information about what happens in Tijuana / Ensenada area and will defer to your
experience, but when it comes to Baja Sur and some states on the mainland, where I do have first hand experience with helping people do applications
and obtain all of the necessary things that they need like a Utility Bill and CURP card, then I do not appreciate it when they hear from someone who
should know better that the coverage is free when, as we have shown repetetively, there is a cost that was set up by the Federal Government in DF.
Every case that I have helped with has had some type of evaluation and in some cases there have been coverage issued with no cost, in others there
have been a cost, and the whole thing is supposed to correlate with your financial position. My personal policy with Seguros Popular cost $1037.40 MN
for the yearly policy, which, in my opinion, is a great deal and I was more than happy to pay. My classification level was V (5). and that fits with
the website exactly.

I do know that Baja Sur does pay extranero interns, while Ensenada and Baja Norte does not. The cost could be incorporated in that surcharge. Each
estado is different.

I have looked at getting Mexican medical but the one I read had a pre-existing condition exclusion in the policy. This may not have been Seguros
Popular??? |
Seguro Popular has no pre-existing clause. It is not really an "insurance", it's more like a Medicare. You pay nothing (or very little) and get
something. Don't expect getting a lot, though. It has no provisions like "evacuation" feature included in a typical private treatment plan, and has
nothing in common with services like Med Jet (which, in turn, are not treatment plans). I hope this is not too confusing.
