All the trumpt nose picks are only being installed to destroy the country they hate in praise of Putin. Keep that in mind!

Where is the bike riding?

Don’t mover there. It’s full and locales are sick of people from other places moving in there.

Can I drive my car with US plates in Mexico for 180 days?

Hi Alex, I´m Paul. Thank you so much for the video. I´m from Uruguay and I´ll be moving to Queretaro for work. Thanks for helping me get a better idea of the place! Keep up the great job!

I appreciate you show the realities .

Choose wisely. I have a policy from a US company that is horrific. It was emergency surgery and was covered according to the policy. They told the doctor I wasn’t covered. I had to pay $20,000+ USD in order to leave. It took six months after denial after denial until they paid me minus what they considered an overcharge plus the deductible . If that surgery was done in the states it would have been at least quadruple.

Thanks to you and your VERY helpful Clarity Call, Alex, I am now here in Guanajuato, Gto., with my Temporary Residence card!! That is also how I found out that I am not eligible for Mexican health insurance.. so I better take really good care of myself!

yada yada

Landlords in Mexico can’t be any worse than landlords in Greece… 🤨

Thinking about moving to Mexico in 2025? Don't miss this breakdown of private healthcare in Mexico: th-cam.com/video/lIVgxpJ94qU/w-d-xo.html

Healthcare and laws works different in Mexico and the USA. In the USA, they bill you later because there are laws the help hospitals/Health providers to enforce payments. Also, not paying a bill in the US can impact a person's credit score. In Mexico, lawsuits are very rare and collections agencies they usually will call the person trying to get back their money but that's it.

Such a helpful video, Alex! Thank you for sharing your personal experience. We’re also looking into private health insurance in Mexico, so this came at the perfect time. We’ll definitely share this with others who ask us about healthcare in Mexico. Great work!

Most expats that are at retirement age will have preexisting conditions. Is there anything they can do for health insurance in Mexico or are they SOL?

Having worked in the medical field for over thirty years, in the US, I can tell you that US insurance companies are notorious for non-payment of claims, slow to pay and outright fraud. So, yes health providers in other countries have reason to demand payment upfront.

hey i know this may not be the right video to post this comment under but since i watch your channel i thought id let you know. theres gonna be alot of people in the next 4 years who will suddenly end up starting from zero in their later years due to the new administration in the states. those people will understandibly be very upset and if and when they bump into americans living in mexico i cant imagine they *wont* feel some kind of way about having to share living space with the same group of people barring them from the country they came from while living their best life in theirs. its a natural sentiment. so if i where you id start planning on heading back home in the next 4 years, the goverment in mexico may not act on this resentment but i know those folks likely will so id be aware of this and plan ahead.

I am 64 and have had private medical insurance here in Mexico for the past 8 years. While initially very inexpensive, it has gone up every year. This year, it will be up to 40,000 pesos. As a US citizen, I will qualify for Medicare this year and I travel back and forth to my other home in Oregon. Since Medical insurance in Mexico is basically catastrophic coverage only, Should I drop the Mexican policy and buy Medicare B?

Thank you for a very timely and interesting video. We are in the process of leaving the UK to move to Mexico permanently, however, i wanted to understand what happens after 65, when you cannot get private insurance, and travelling to your home country is not an option? Do you then use the public service, or pay out of pocket? (to be clear, even with private medical insurance in the UK, it takes 6 months to see a doctor!!)

Whats the point of this video? To show that money gets you access ? We knew that already

My sister in law died in May in a public hospital in Mexico. She was covered at nearly no cost , but the hospital did not have the proper equipment. Medical insurance and healthcare are two different subjects

The public health care in in Mexico is in process to be implemented, so it is unfair to say that it isn't working.

2:56 thats why you have car and medical insurance in big cities.

Wow. Thanks for this very important information.

Great topic that's important to know. Do you have Santiagos' contact info? How about travel insurance?

Great information but I have learned that I'm out of luck, lol. I have high blood pressure and will be 70 when I move. Oh how I wish I knew when I was younger what I know now!

My understanding is that they also don’t cover pre-existing conditions and I also heard that if you get hurt doing something voluntary like surfing, it will also not be covered. Probably depends on the policy, but something to think about when shopping around. Our MX ins policy costs about the same for about the same coverage.

Super useful information, thanks! I've been putting this off for too long.

I stopped trusting the medical cabal after S & E was pushed globally.

Thank you Alex.

Ok

At 10:00 did I understand correctly that if you're being treated for high blood pressure, you won't be able to find health insurance in Mexico? Or did he mean uncontrolled high blood pressure?

Great info and excellent presentation as usual, gracias Alex! 😊

In Pachuca and the surrounding area, I have always been able to see a specialist the same or next day (if my schedule permits). If I had to wait more, it's because my schedule didn't allow. It's been about $40 USD to see a specialist here. (no insurance)

Great video. Maybe Jenny didn't have the "best" doctor . The best don't take insurance and we cover all the hospital or private care clinic (rented service space) costs so the patients pay us upfront. Yes in advance with extra on retainer (like a good lawyer). Of course any over payment is used to cover follow up visits, home visits, and YES, here we make house calls and hotel calls, only politicians and actors get that care in the USA..... Here, your doctor has many options to be able to help. Especially in cash situations. Sometimes your general practitioner will find the specialist and handle all the details. Here we have many "medical tourists". Medical tourism is a booming market. Dental surgery, bariatric surgery, all taken care of by the GP. Pick up the patient at the airport, surgery, hotel, recover on the beach, transport back to the airport. Many services that not offered in the USA. Plus, here, most medications generally cost less than most Americans Co-pays. And the majority of medications don't require a prescription. Very important note -- here after surgery, most patients are not going to get narcotics (Vicodin, oxycodone, demerol, percocet and items generally provided in the USA). Generally you get anti-inflammatory products. Many Americans complain about pain and push for narcotics. We have it, just not going to find it at most Mexico pharmacies. Hope some of that is helpful. Possible future video for you.

Timestamps in the description! Don't miss Jenny's retelling of the TENSE hours at the hospital before she was allowed to go home post-surgery 04:34

Alex, thank you and very helpful! Glad to know I have someone that I can count on and everything you mentioned, I am on board!

Thankyou so much for all that useful info. I plan to fly from Chetumal to Zihuatanejo in a few months. I actually live in Belize

Bravo on wind proofing your microphone! Wish more Vloggers would do that!

Thanks very much for the info. For financial information, if I have multiple accounts, can I just show the one that meets the requirement. And if we have joint accounts that meet the combined amount for two, would that be ok? Also what is the residency requirement for the permanent residence? Not likely to apply for citizenship because our language barrier and age.

we don't want you here

does anyone have info on bringing horses to mexico? I want to move there next year with my 4 horses if I can find a small ranch for rent or to buy

0:29 They lied to you…

there is not how to stole a Gun store, they have guns there Malvo brooklin 1989

A friend of mine moved from Canada to Mexico. He bought a new car directly from a dealership in cash.

With a car 🚗 or vehicle you likely get stopped by the cartels and army on the highway all the time when you drive long distance

So glad you're enjoying living in beautiful GDL, neighbor! Kudos

Hi Alex and Ivonne. What a great and informative video. Thank you so much. I have two questions: Once you get to Mexico from your own country, how long would you say the process takes to get temporary residency? We would like to come to Mexico for a few weeks to max a month and then head back because we have kids. Do you think a month is enough time? I see in some places that INM wants a proof of address: how do you proof that? We are thinking of renting airb&b so how can we proof address if we are only there for a short period of time?
