I'm from Australia, $10k out of pocket and reduced rates would suit me fine, truth is, if I am that sick I would go home and get the treatment for free. Sometimes we just have to accept reality for what it is. Cheers John
I’m from UK so similar thoughts but what if it’s a heart attack, stroke, broken limbs or pandemic 😷 lockdowns that prevent travel? I’m not sure that a high deductible and getting flight ✈️ is the whole answer although it may be an option?
Fear not. Invest your money instead of paying the skyrocketing cost of healthcare insurance. When you live in pretty healthy places in the Philippines most likely you’ll enjoy and live quality life. That’s a good investment. Isn’t it?
I think a lot of expats that retire in the Philippines have no delusions about living to some ripe old age you give good advice Steve but everyone is different some people are miserable in there home country and really don't care about the safety net that you preach they live for today
As long as your relatively Healthy.....You can just keep your Medicaid & Get a Dr who does the online visits & have your prescriptions filled in USA & Sent to you If you get really sick you can head back home or see if it's cheaper to have any procedures done in the Philippines, Thailand..ect
I have been in the Philippines 4 years now. If you are relatively healthy need to go to the hospital for small things. It is not worth paying for the insurance, I was dehydrated november of last year. That trip to the hospital IV, Medicine cost me about 2,000 Peso like $40.00 US dollars, just save your money instead of helping the insurance company benefit from it.
My health is excellent at 65yo. I started banking $40 week for medical fund. Most Americans at 65 are in bad shape physically,l be subsidised their lifestyle choices. I figure in ten years put the savings into a house here and use equity for loan if need be for emergency. I still have Philhealth for the family here,so at least we be taken inside hospital.

In my opinion, health insurance becomes a total rip-off when you've over 65. I decided to self insure at age 60. I put 500,000 Thai baht in a savings account, and I top it up 50,000 baht a year. It's now up to 750,000 and earns 1.5% interest annually.
I went to all these websites after you and the Filipina Pea did videos on them. Peso Plan I also found as the best. Although I can’t find how much the increase is when you add a dependent.

That’s not true A+ International cannot drip you and your cost is the same as everyone in your age group. They are underwritten by Allianz Global a major insurer
I assume you are from the USA and have Medicare Part A. Do you pay for Part B just in case you ever need to return to live in the US? I hear that if you let Part B laps, you pay a 10% per year penalty if you need that coverage if you have to return to the US.
Some of those numbers you gave are really expensive, perhaps will eventually become highest expense. How can people expect to live / retire there on one a thousand or two a month when insurance alone is so expensive as one gets older? Gives reason for real pause. Quite surprised since healthcare there is so inexpensive overall.
I plan on living to 100, so now I’m thinking $3,000 a month is not going to be enough even with savings, start up fund, ForEx fund, and inflation fund.
LIFE INSURANCE..lol The Burial cost that's it if my family wants to cash in on my DEATH they can pay the extra premiums themselves I am gonna enjoy my $$ & final years...lol
It's really a shame that medicare cannot be used abroad. There was talk years ago to try to push this issue. But I guess there is no progress on the subject.

Hey you must have esp ,l just asked about this on another video, thanks.Hey hand me a slab of that greasy pork, would rather die that way than paying a health insurance and drying up in a hospital, just saying but thanks for the information,God Bless
This video is very important for seniors over 66 . The combined impact of Forex, Inflation, and Health Insurance prices makes retiring to the PH quite expensive . Looks like that for a 70 or 80 years old, 1500 USD a month is not enough, 3K USD a month would make more sense, even if the guy is single with no gf .
@@RichTravel1010 - sweet spot doesn't help those who can't reach it, but still want to come. not everyone is as great as you are, but how about helping those who ARE coming and aren't as fortunate as you've been.
Just to confirm, after 65yo there are no PhilHealth or other cheap peso options or dovetailing that will reduce costs? Thanks for the awesome vid on a difficult subject.
Could you please warn me who are the Dumaguete guys I should avoid watching videos they make? I'm not asking you to say anything slanderous about them, I'm only wondering who I should NOT be wasting my time watching, and perhaps get led astray by then with false impressions. I am new to this, thanks for vlogging for the right reasons!
@@RichTravel1010 thank you for taking the time to reply but that's not helpful, I don't know which floggers are dragging girls on their channels, since that seems to be the norm. But I will avoid any dating courses related to the Philippines.
Hi Brian, I just have a policy to not name Vloggers on here because it starts WW3. I’m a peaceful person and stay away from these types. Just be aware....
Do you know of anyone that actually got paid out when hospitalised? I have never trusted Insurance Companies to pay out without trying everything to weasel out of it.
I don't understand why PhilHealth couldn't be combined with a lower cost SUPPLEMENTAL policy, to cover the costs that PhilHealth doesn't. Could you shed some light on this arrangement? All other expats I have talked to, recommend PhilHealth, but admit that it only covers part of the total bill. Could you expand on this, please??
So, is this overall saying that unless you have a lot of money saved up, after age 65, you are better off financially with Medicare in America than paying these monthly premiums overseas? Weird to think that as high priced as everything here in America is, anything could be "less" here, but listening to the straight talk from our friend in the video, it sure seems this may be the case. Sad.
SAVE YOUR MONEY IN THE PHILIPPINES SO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO USE LIKE ME BEFORE I AM BECOMING RETIRE I ANTICIPATE MY CONDITION FOR THE FUTURE TO SAVE MY MONEY , NOW, I AM RELAX IN PHILIPPINES AND I BOUGHT LITTLE RESTHOUSE. I AM HAPPY THEN YOU DON'T NEED SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENT AS FINANCIAL INDEPENDENT.. NO ONE WILL SUPPORT YOU ONLY YOURSELF.
My husband and i are below 65yrs old. What we need is a health insurance that will cover us international and US before the medicare kicks in. Then when we reach 65, we will drop the US coverage. I found CIGNA GLOBAL as having the best in price and coverage. It will cost around 930$ / month with 750$deductible for inpatient and 150$ for outpatient and prescription. Please let us know if Pacific Cross covers the US. Unfortunately US has the most expensive healthcare in the world. The OBAMA CARE is a joke.

FYI Beginning in 2023, the VA will be getting into the life insurance business. The new law requires the VA to offer all disabled veterans under age 81 a whole-life policy by that date. The program will be similar to Veterans Group life insurance however, veterans must sign up for VGLI within 16 months after leaving the service. The new insurance program will have no such time limit. Policies will be limited to a $40,000 payout for most veterans when the program begins.

This video is very important for seniors over 66 . The combined impact of Forex, Inflation, and Health Insurance prices makes retiring to the PH quite expensive . Looks like that for a 70 or 80 years old, 1500 USD a month is not enough, 3K USD a month would make more sense, even if the guy is single with no gf .
That’s why I push the $2-3K Sweet Spot Budget I recommend and came up with that covers everything pretty well.
@@RichTravel1010 - sweet spot doesn't help those who can't reach it, but still want to come. not everyone is as great as you are, but how about helping those who ARE coming and aren't as fortunate as you've been.
Dude, don't even THINK that anyone will help you abroad, not gonna happen.
Are you saying 30 thousand dollars a year???
At age 86-90 for the Standard plan it’s $32,000 or $12,518 for the Major plan.
@@RichTravel1010 is it cheaper if you help the doctor do the operation?
@@RichTravel1010 REALITY CHECK It's not doable..
Lol
Just to confirm, after 65yo there are no PhilHealth or other cheap peso options or dovetailing that will reduce costs? Thanks for the awesome vid on a difficult subject.
Pacific Cross has Peso Plans that are a bit cheaper.
Could you please warn me who are the Dumaguete guys I should avoid watching videos they make? I'm not asking you to say anything slanderous about them, I'm only wondering who I should NOT be wasting my time watching, and perhaps get led astray by then with false impressions. I am new to this, thanks for vlogging for the right reasons!
Hi Brian, They are the ones dragging girls out on thier channel and sell Bacholor Courses. I will not name by name and start WW3.
@@RichTravel1010 thank you for taking the time to reply but that's not helpful, I don't know which floggers are dragging girls on their channels, since that seems to be the norm. But I will avoid any dating courses related to the Philippines.
Hi Brian, I just have a policy to not name Vloggers on here because it starts WW3. I’m a peaceful person and stay away from these types. Just be aware....
Do you know of anyone that actually got paid out when hospitalised? I have never trusted Insurance Companies to pay out without trying everything to weasel out of it.
Me !!!!! Lol
Sounds terribly high!
This is why I tell people they are exceptionally low in their budgets.
Be careful with scammers! Looks for good reputation company.
This company is decent and my company. I also like Pacific Prime.
@@RichTravel1010 my husband friend is using pacific prime. He told us that’s the best he can get there.
I don't understand why PhilHealth couldn't be combined with a lower cost SUPPLEMENTAL policy, to cover the costs that PhilHealth doesn't. Could you shed some light on this arrangement? All other expats I have talked to, recommend PhilHealth, but admit that it only covers part of the total bill. Could you expand on this, please??
Philhealth is not worth it in most cases. Pacific Cross and Pacific Prime are decent and will put you in good hands at at a reasonable price.
So, is this overall saying that unless you have a lot of money saved up, after age 65, you are better off financially with Medicare in America than paying these monthly premiums overseas? Weird to think that as high priced as everything here in America is, anything could be "less" here, but listening to the straight talk from our friend in the video, it sure seems this may be the case. Sad.
Even if u live over seas at 65 it's still good to carry medicare. Can not be cancelled. I wish the usa would allow our medicare to be used over seas
Correct unfortunately.. only recourse excerise religiously strict diet... Dr Dean Ornish...
I wonder how good the treatment in the philippines is when you get cancer or heart disease..those are the big ones
Decent in Manila
Can i use my HSA in the Philippines?
What is HSA ?
very confusing....... maybe it would have been better to not jumble so much information together ...... and keep it simpler
SAVE YOUR MONEY IN THE PHILIPPINES SO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO USE LIKE ME BEFORE I AM BECOMING RETIRE I ANTICIPATE MY CONDITION FOR THE FUTURE TO
SAVE MY MONEY , NOW, I AM RELAX IN PHILIPPINES AND I BOUGHT LITTLE RESTHOUSE.
I AM HAPPY THEN YOU DON'T NEED SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENT AS FINANCIAL INDEPENDENT.. NO ONE WILL SUPPORT YOU ONLY YOURSELF.
My husband and i are below 65yrs old. What we need is a health insurance that will cover us international and US before the medicare kicks in. Then when we reach 65, we will drop the US coverage. I found CIGNA GLOBAL as having the best in price and coverage. It will cost around 930$ / month with 750$deductible for inpatient and 150$ for outpatient and prescription. Please let us know if Pacific Cross covers the US. Unfortunately US has the most expensive healthcare in the world. The OBAMA CARE is a joke.
This policy does cover outside of the Philippines for short times.
you said $930 / a month for Cigna global, that is expensive ! it don't sound right !

Costly are you kidding me who could afford that
FYI
Beginning in 2023, the VA will be getting into the life insurance business.
The new law requires the VA to offer all disabled veterans under age 81 a whole-life policy by that date. The program will be similar to Veterans Group life insurance however, veterans must sign up for VGLI within 16 months after leaving the service. The new insurance program will have no such time limit.
Policies will be limited to a $40,000 payout for most veterans when the program begins.
Can you send me a link to this.
3:05 ......ok ...alot of U guys R gonna come over here over 65 ..lol.... 2 funeee.lol....
