The biggest revelation to me with this entire story is the number of people who's whole life and future in Turkey is twenty quid a week away from being absolutely impossible.

Quite - while I appreciate that some people are on a tight budget it does beg the question just what will they do if they suddenly do need treatment, i.e. for a bad fall, road accident, heart attack.

It also makes me wonder how people in such circumstances can relax and enjoy life in a foreign country with no back up plan for such eventualities. Personally I'd find it very worrying.

Our Bagkur goes up 15 tl each year so far.
Just for information. I have been informed that athough we have Bagkur/SSK we still have to register at SGK Office but do not need to take it up we can stay on Bagkur, we just have to put our Bagkur number on the form.

Berrygirl91 ...from what I can understand it is a choice to join (at the moment) but this being Turkey things can change as we all know.
I think you also need to ask yourself, if you cannot afford the £20 a week for medical insurance, can you really afford to live here at all with the raging inflation and rising costs?

Am I right in thinking that for a married couple it is the Bag Kur scheme that is needed and if so could you tell me how much it is to cover a married couple. Or is the SGK at 212tl a month extended without any further charge to cover the wife.

Thanks a lot.

SGK @ 212TL (at the moment) covers man and wife.
