Mexico City might just have a flock of new tourists coming to the area after they hear about the free health insurance being offered. Apparently, the city is making an effort to bring tourists back to the city after the swine flu outbreak ran everyone out of the area.
Is free health insurance really true?
Yes, it's really true. From the time you check into your hotel room, you are automatically covered until you check out. During your stay, you will be able to receive free medical attention at any private hospital in the city.
So what are the rules of this free health insurance?
Here are a few things to remember:
- Everything is covered. Whether you break an arm and have to visit an emergency room, or simply have a migraine headache, you will be covered free of charge.
- Mexico City injuries only. The main catch is that you will only be covered for an injury that you sustain in Mexico City. This means no trying to get free medical attention for that ankle you broke while skateboarding down the street from your house in Los Angeles.
They even say that the more vague diagnosis like anxiety and depression might be covered by the free tourist insurance. So if you've been thinking of taking a trip to Mexico City, now might be the time to get out there and have fun. And hey, if you contract the swine flu that everyone is fearing, at least you can rest assured that you will get the medical attention you need - free of charge.
