Hi I am joining this forum as my parents are moving to Ovacik in February.  I am a little worried about health care and wondering what people do when they live in this area.  My parents are not rich and are over 60.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

Hi and a very warm welcome to the Forum.  Health insurance can get very expensive and sometimes not available when you are in your sixties, however health care is very good and much cheaper than the UK.  Consider  putting the sum you would pay for an insurance premium into a high interest account here and save that for any future care you need.....and hey it is such a good life here you may never need it at all! :)
