Dual US/German Citizen - retirement health insurance

7 years ago

My husband and I are hoping to retire to Europe in the next few years. We’re both US Citizens, but I was able to get German citizenship through my father. I’ve always lived and worked in the US, never in Germany. We currently live in very costly Los Angeles but hope to find somewhere cheaper to live in retirement so that our money goes further. I’m 61 and my husband is 59.

Health insurance is a big concern. I understand we can pay for private health insurance. If we retire to Germany would we be able to access the public health system to save some money. Would there be any age limitations or pre-existing condition concerns if we do? Thanks!
