Yeah its actually hardest for foreigners to retire in Florida since the US is one of the few countries that doesn't offer retiree visas. Canadians have it relatively easy, usually splitting time between the two countries since they can spend 180 days at a time in the US on a B-2 tourist waiver.

Most “snowbird” insurance is only cost-effective because they expect to G(you)TFO back to your government insurance if anything happens and discontinue your policy if anything happens. And often any medical condition needs to be stable to qualify in the first place. I’m aware of a lot of Canadians that look further south to get away every winter to avoid a lot of health and tax related issues.
