Hire a health plan can be a challenge for older. Often operators try to hinder the adhesion of the old, believing that it will use the plan more often and may cause injury. But the practice is illegal. 

Under the rules of the ANS (National Health Agency), acquisition and access to services of health plans can not be hindered or prevented by reason of age, health condition or disability consumer. 

"If any broker or carrier prevent or hinder a person's access to more than 60 years to a health plan, consumers should report to the NSA," guides the lawyer Idec (Brazilian Consumer Protection), Joan Cruz.
