Question: 
I am a U.S. citizen who is considering retiring to the Philippines later this year. I am 75 years old, in excellent health. I am concerned about the cost of health care coverage there. Do not call me. Email is fine. Thanks

The cost for basic outpatient care is minimal in Thailand, what is best to focus on is the emergency/ inpatient care, as these are the types of treatments that can add up to staggering amount if you don’t have private health insurance in place.
