Healthcare in Mexico. Living in Mexico with Medicare. Is it possible?

Today I am going to continue to focus on health care. When I started this series on healthcare in Mexico, I stated that Medicare does not cover healthcare in Mexico. That is true but there are some limited options that do exist for those on Medicare. Actually a viewer reached out to me and made me aware of these options. This viewer has even used one of these options to have surgery here in Mexico. Although limited, they may be a solution for you and I felt it a disservice not to inform my viewers.

Now where doe that leave those Americans that want to move or travel in Mexico and that are on Medicare? Well, as I said earlier Medicare will not cover you in Mexico. Now with that being said you do have some options, although limited, which I will discuss.

Public Healthcare in Mexico part 3 of 3. Public healthcare and options for foreigners explained.

Today is part 3 of a 3 part series on healthcare in Mexico. In this part of the series, I am going to discuss the public healthcare system and options offered by the public healthcare system here in Mexico for foreigners.

Now the big question is what type of public healthcare is available to foreigners living in Mexico and what are the requirements. Before I go into detail on what is available, I must state that these coverages are only available to foreigners that hold either Temporary Residency or Permeant Residency. They are not available to individuals living here on a tourist FMM.

This video will cover what type of public healthcare is available for foreigners living in Mexico and discuss the requirements to qualify as well as the limitations of each.

Back home to Mexico! How it feels like to be back in the United States. Mexico vs US comparison.

Today I am going to get up close and personal. I am going to do something different and have some fun. I’m going to do a comparison video of Santa Fe, New Mexico vs San Miguel de Allende.

I began to realize why I was so drawn to San Miguel de Allende. Actually, there are a lot of similarities between both places. I even read somewhere in a travel magazine that San Miguel de Allende is considered the Santa Fe of Mexico. Actually, these places are so similar that really the biggest difference is that one is located in Mexico and the other is located in the United States.

While I was reflecting, I thought what better of an idea to compare the two. In reality, I will not be comparing the two, I guess I will be comparing my personal feeling about life in the United States vs my Life in Mexico. What a better way to compare than starting both off on a level playing field. Comparing two similar places in two different countries.

Controversy over my Highway of death video! My response to the big question of, Is Mexico Dangerous?

Today, I am going to continue to take on a very controversial topic. I recently did a video about whether Mexico was dangerous. I also discussed the current violence in Tamaulipas and a stretch of Highway between Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey commonly traveled by Expats now being called the highway of death. Then I went on to address whether it was safe to travel in Mexico. I then offered some commonsense travel tips on traveling in Mexico. Boy did that cause a big stir in the Facebook Community! I even got banned from a Facebook Group due to the controversy it caused! Want to know most ironic thing about this ban? The Facebook Group is called On the Road in Mexico.

What I am going to do is address some of the feedback I received and once again dispel some of the misconceptions people have.

Can you live in Mexico on Social Security? Let’s uncover the truth NO BULL!

Can you live in Mexico on Social Security? The answer to this question is not as simple as it may seem. Today we are going to get down and dirty and discuss the true reality of living in Mexico on Social Security.

I constantly see YouTube videos pop up on the topic of living in Mexico on Social Security. I also see the topic discussed frequently on Expat Facebook Groups. I felt compelled to make this video because most of the information out there only addresses the financial cost of living in Mexico. Information does not address the hurdles you may face living in Mexico on Social Security.
