The question of mandatory health insurance for all came up in the Yes / No referendum held in 2010. The Turkish people voted Yes for it. As foreigners living here we were not given any option and also now not being given any accurate information. People i know in Bodrum are saying they need to pay 30 TL, Marmaris are saying 200 - 213 TL, here we are told 215 TL. Why should a single person pay the same amount as a family with any number of children? It seems to me that there are many open questions that are not receiving any answers, which is just resulting in mass confusion and worry. As I do not wish to be slapped with a massive fine i will pay the amount asked, however I do not agree with it and will leave registering until the very last minute in the hope that some clear information is released to all foreign nationals from the relevant authorities.
