Panama Retirement

You can retire in style in Panama and live better than you do now. Live well -- including a maid, a gardener, a driver -- all on a Social Security budget. Enjoy free medical care or health insurance for $300 a month or less. Panama is the world's number one retirement haven. As a foreign resident, you can pay zero local tax. This beautiful country hides the smartest beaches, rivers, and mountain property buys anywhere on the planet today. It sure can be a great place to call home. Panama is a land where the cost of living is low...the standard of health care is excellent...and where the climate can be idyllic.

Panama boasts Pacific and Caribbean shorelines with wildflower-covered mountains in between...real-world infrastructure...the U.S. dollar for currency (since 1904), so Americans face no exchange risk.

This is a land of unsurpassed outdoor adventures...where you can dive two oceans in a day, glide through the jungle canopy, ride the white waters, hike through a cloud forest, rappel off a rock cliff, and fish in waters teeming with marlin, tuna, wahoo, and sailfish. More sport-fishing records have been set in the waters off Panama’s shores than anywhere else in the world. Outdoors-enthusiasts and nature-lovers are at home here...as are the savvy and the sophisticated.

Panama is also a world of cultural opportunity, with ballets at the restored National Theater...dances to traditional Congo music...historic Spanish forts...and world-class dining in atmospheric colonial buildings.

In Panama, you'll never again have to worry about snow. Nor will you have to give a thought to hurricanes. The only hurricanes in Panama since 1851 have been the kind you drink.

Panama is an open-minded, progressive place. The government offers investment laws far more beneficial than anything in the United States, for example...there is little racial tension...health care is available for both nationals and foreign visitors...the economy is strong...luxuries and comforts beyond reach in the U.S. are affordable here. Panama is the one place in the world right now that's enjoying continued growth and prosperity, global financial meltdown notwithstanding. Indeed, despite slowdowns and meltdowns elsewhere, Panama's economy continues strong, expanding quicker than most any other in the world. The canal, the ports, and the Colon Free Zone have benefited greatly from regional and international trade expansion over the past several years. Meantime, the construction industry has boomed, and the financial sector has expanded. Unemployment has fallen to an unprecedented low.
Panama offers both world-class medical care and outstanding health coverage benefits, despite having pre-existing conditions. It's not only the high quality and the low cost of care that makes this country so attractive to anyone with an ongoing health concern. It's also the quality of the food, the quality of living generally, the relaxed, stress-free way of life.

Not a resident of Panama don’t worry that’s not a restriction to taking advantage of the insurance programs. Bottom line, though, someone with an ongoing health issue, has to be most concerned about the cost of health care. No matter how healthy you live, you can't predict what medical care you might require someday.

If you're an American, Medicare won't follow you outside the States (although your Social Security will). "Health care and health insurance...they're the key," and here's the first thing you need to know about international health insurance fundamentally, you have two choices: local cover or an international policy. Both are good options. Which way you decide to go depends on your circumstances.
So much of the developed world is experiencing collective panic...nearly to the point of paralysis...as so many nearing retirement are wondering...and worrying...how in the world they're ever going to be able to afford to stop working...and where in the world, now, amidst the chaos, they're going to invest their money...

Panama is the answer!
