The Expat Files - 06/04/12

-Be sure to follow me on www.expatwisdom.com to get more new audios, blogs, stories and expat info as well as my big personal report, “17 Undiscovered Latin American Paradises”

-Now you can follow the link on the main page at www.expatwisdom.com to schedule a consultation with me. If you want to discuss the details of living, working, playing, doing business and/or retiring in Latin America, now you and I can talk about your situation one on one.

-The state of Latin American healthcare and the availability of medical insurance is one of the topics people are very interested in. Lately there have been some excellent developments in the medical insurance industry here and you’ll be more than pleasantly surprised when you hear about how expats can get insurance insanely cheap and yet have complete first world style HMO coverage

The real dope on Latin doctors; their training, their medical degrees, the medical schools they attend and the state of medical specialties in Latin America

-The things they never tell you about those so-called fantastic Cuban medical schools and Cuban doctors in general

-The story behind the preponderance of ugly, dented, sun-bleached cars in the $500 to $1000 range. All I can say about that is, with all of those 25 to 35 year old Datsuns, Hondas and Toyotas humming along down here- you really gotta hand it to those Japanese engineers!

-Explaining the details behind two competing private Latin American HMO health insurance plans (based on a single person of 45-50 years). One plan costs $1000 a year (no typo!) and the other one $550 a year (still no typo!). And you won’t believe the coverage, though of course there are some exclusions and contingencies.
