Medical tourism for expats

In the 21st century more and more American citizen are starting to look for answers of their government isn't providing them with. Every year the cost of living rises higher and higher, and every year you are expected to spend more and more of your hard earned income on things that other people in other countries are receiving for practically nothing in comparison. A perfect example of this is modern medicine and healthcare. While people living in the United States are expected to spend tens of thousands of dollars per year on health insurance, expats choosing to live in countries such as Bulgaria or Colombia are receiving medical coverage for as low as $250 a year.

This is the reality of medical tourism. When you can choose to live where you want out of a list of hundreds of countries in the world, you have the option of deciding which country has the best medical plan for you and your needs, rather than being subjected to a system that demands you pay tens of thousands of dollars per year on top of doctor visits, prescription medication and beyond. As an expat, you can choose to go to a country like Mexico where once you establish residency you can have access to the unlimited universal healthcare system for around $250 a year, provided that you keep your residency in good standing and pay Mexican taxes (which are significantly lower than those in the United States).

Every year more and more expats are choosing to live abroad and other countries where the cost of medicine is practically nothing in comparison to what is back in the U.S. And when you do the basic mathematical comparisons it's easy to see why, because you can have the exact same standards of care that you are used to having back at home, but for a fraction of the price which allows you more financial freedom to live your life as you see fit rather than on someone else's terms.

Medical tourism for expats is a major reason why you should be considering living abroad in another country. There are countless tens of thousands and more worth of savings, such as the difference between a live transplant in Taiwan for $90,000 compared to the $300,000 it costs you for the same surgery in the United States. When there is that kind of money on the line it makes sense to go where you can get the best of both worlds.
