Hi all,
We are getting a bit frustrated with the Health Insurance companies.
My Mrs. who is a lot younger than me has had a fair bit of abdominal surgery due to a condition from years ago. Not critical illness but now has to manage the pain. I have no pre-existing conditions. Asssa have point-blank refused to insure her and others are quoting ridiculous amounts of money, more for me than her. I thought most of these companies excluded pre-existing conditions so why the knock back?
We are both under state pension age and are looking at Health Insurance in order to obtain our Residencia. I understand that having had Resdiencia for 12 months then you can pay into the Spanish system, is that still correct?
I'm sure there must be thousands of ex-pats with far more serious pre-existing conditions who have managed to obtain private healthcare.
Any advice on our situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Tony and Sam
