  1. Once one is hitting 65, international insurance is around $3500-6000/year. Depending on someone's income Medicare is less expensive option and can be used for emergencies and critical care with no deductible.

  3.  @belle42  Each person's case is different, it all depends on one's income. The only Medicare that will cover one internationally is Medicare Advantage & that will only cover one in emergencies, so cancer treatments likely won't qualify one. Being a resident of California, our state pays the monthly fee of $170.25 if one makes around $19k or less, so many on social security will qualify. Look into different insurance plans & see what works best for you. Some people find it is better to have cash on hand & pay out of pocket. What I will say is that experience of medical care is at a higher level than what I've seen here in Central America. The way some viewers on You Tube react to some hospitals as being like a good hotel room, that is standard care in my local hospital in California. Also, having access to quality alternative heath options- complementary health like functional medical practitioners, naturopaths, acupuncture etc is virtually nonexistent. Once one hits 65, many insurance companies won't cover you. So, the sooner you get insured the better.

  4. Part A of Medicare is free and that part covers hospitalizations. Part B, are doctors visits. Depending on one's state the cost is around $160/month. The advantage plan will cover emergency and chronic care if one is out of the country. Still cheaper than international insurance.

  5. The original focus on this channel was for people with 7+ figure net worth, not those barely getting by. There are channels on frugal living, this is not one of them.
