Spain: Health Insurance Poviders:

Can someone tell me whether a US citizen can buy into the public healhcare system in Spain. From everything I read, the answer is no. But I have a friend who tells me otherwise. He is from the UK, but says he has American friends who do so for about 100 Euros a month.

Costa Rica: Health insurance:

I don't get this. I am just starting to research moving abroad. I am 65 and my wife is 54. We are both in good health, but sure we have pre-existing conditions. It is hard to believe that anyone who is retiring does not, so what am I missing?

Spain: Retirement in Spain/in our 60's/from US:

Hello All, I was happy to find this post because my wife and I are also considering Spain in a year or two. We're pretty early in the research process, so things clearly could change. Currently, though, I am really stuck on the health insurance issue. At the outset, this seemed to be a positive factor and I read about people for whom that was virtually the sole reason for their move. However, although we both are healthy, like most people of our age, my wife and I both have some pre-existing conditions and I hear that it is awfully hard (and expensive) to get them covered. At the moment our conditions are controlled via medications which we probably could afford---but who knows how things could change. Any advice in this domain is greatly appreciated! It is good to hear the stories of others who have posted here.
