At 65 you're eligible for single-payer, government-supported Medicare. I'm not old enough to be keeping an eye on the numbers, but it looks like ~$450 / month

I'm not old enough to be keeping an eye on the numbers, but it looks like ~$450 / month for hospital (free) + doctor (subsidized) + prescription (pay).
- danielhughes 7y agoThat’s correct but Medicare is not a viable option for Americans living abroad because it does not cover overseas healthcare.

- geomark 7y agoThen you consider that the total unsubsidized out of pocket cost for a surgery at a private hospital in one of the medical tourism destinations amounts to only a few months of premiums. And on top of it the service and hospitality with which the medical care is delivered is unlike any you've ever even imagined in the US.
