My husband and I were looking for a place to go when we thought we could not afford healthcare prices if ours go up next year, so we checked out medical cost around the world and found it was cheaper in Central America with the American standards we wanted.

Our insurance went up from $274 per month to $980.

Here is where I have been evaluating prices:

Even though we are not at retirement age, we are worried about how we will pay for healthcare with our retirement budget.

I tease him that now we have to take a vacation every year for our medical work-ups.

does Central America have hospitals and medical quality of “American standards”?
