One of the question most frequently asked is “I like to know if I can retire in Baja knowing that I am covered in case something would happen to me”. At Your Baja Connection we understand all these issues and we have teamed up with local insurance brokers to provide you with the best coverage at a reasonable price.

What about if I am caring for an elderly parent? There are options available like the ones I mentioned above that specialized on caring for the elderly, and you are always a mere five minutes away from them.

“I was considering other countries in Latin America; I know there are countries with Hospital plans for the elderly, does Mexico have similar plans and do my parents qualify for these programs”

Some states in Mexico do offer “Hospital Plans” or care centers for a cost of about $ 100.00 USD a month. Often they provide exemplary coverage at a very modest cost to you and your pocket. It usually includes doctor, ambulance service, special visits, emergency room, lab work, x-rays, physician house calls, private room stay; prescription drugs can be obtained for a nominal costs, usually for as much less as 80% of U.S. value. The Mexican government has been negotiating with the U.S. to provide Medicare in Mexico, this will save the U.S. treasure millions of dollars a month and it will give you a peace of mind. Not bad, eh?

It is a matter of understanding what you are getting into, it is very important in your decision to move to Baja, particularly knowing that the U.S. border is only 20 minutes away, and you could be getting there in case of a real emergency needing specialized doctors only available in the U.S. or if you were a retiree from any of the military branches knowing there is military hospitals near your retirement heaven.
