- Are you considering leaving Canada for better healthcare and a more adventurous lifestyle? Join us as we share our journey from the cold Canadian winters to a life of global exploration and top-tier medical care.
In this video, we detail our transition and explore the tangible benefits of living abroad-from obtaining excellent healthcare tailored for expats to significant tax reductions. Learn how we navigated the challenges and what you can expect if you decide to make a similar move.
We'll discuss:
The decline of healthcare quality in Canada and our decision to seek better options.
We secured reliable medical insurance that allows us to travel anywhere.
The financial benefits of living abroad include lower living costs and reduced taxes.
King of leaving your home country for a life of adventure and ease? Discover how we traded Canadian winters for global exploration, achieved excellent healthcare, lowered our cost of living, and significantly lowered our taxes.
This video unveils our journey from Canada to the world, sharing essential tips on finding the best healthcare tailored to your lifestyle. Join us on our whirlwind around the world and learn how advanced the medical systems are. This could save your life.
We lowered our taxes: The new tax laws in Canada are an assault on the middle class.
We achieved optimal healthcare: People are dying in the waiting rooms in Canada.
We improved our quality of life immensely: We are so free and have taken control of every important aspect of our lives. We can go and live anywhere and travel the world.
Canada needs to catch up to the world. We no longer felt that we had a system we could trust. Canadian taxpayers are paying for healthcare and paying for a broken system.
We choose to no longer pay into this broken system. After leaving Canada permanently, we needed to get our healthcare in order. After a lot of research, we signed with Cigna.
Today, we have the complete freedom to roam this big world with the confidence that our healthcare is there for when we need it. We lowered our taxes significantly, lowered the cost of living, and now we have the best healthcare.
Healthcare worldwide is first class; once you experience it, you will realize how sadly Canada has fallen behind.

You pay into the Canadian health care system all your life, I am now 64 and the system is broken, after paying for the system all my life!!! What a kick in the teeth, I feel so ripped off. I have never used the system other than a few colonoscopies.that's it, in 64 years, now I may need it and the "system" is telling me you can't get the health care you have paid into, it's criminal actually,, it is a breach of contract
When we lived in Nairobi, my family member had a potential dangerous health problem. It was diagnosed and treated in less than 2 weeks. Our healthcare in Philippines, Europe, Guatemala over a period of 16 years abroad was far superior than what we experienced in our own country.
My personal experience with private health care in Panama was phenomenal. I thought I had dengue fever because I felt like my bones were being crushed (dengue fever is also called "bone crushing disease") so I went into a private hospital in Chiriqui (western Panama near Costa Rica). I had 4 nurses, 2 doctors and a lab technician working on me and only me. They did their tests and it was determined that it wasn't dengue fever but rather food poisoning. They immediately started a drip to give me antibiotics. I was there for 5 hours total. When I left, the bill was a whopping US$16.34! That's FIVE hours, SEVEN health care professionals ... plus bed, medicine, etc all for less than US$20. So while Canadian politicians and promoters of a solo socialized medicine system claim we have "the best health care system in the world," based on my own personal experience, I beg to differ. (You can also get coverage at that hospital for US$50 a month. I never did because paying out of pocket is just so inexpensive.)
Hi there. Panama is on our list of countries to check out in the near future. Thanks so much for watching our videos, and taking the time to respond.
I so love your Canadian perspective. For over 37 years Ive called Canada my home. I love Canada. But its such a far cry from what it used to be 😢. Now Im considering slow travelling the world within the next few years. Healthcare was one of the most critical issues. And preventative care covered by insurance is tops. Thanks for sharing
Hi there,
Thanks for watching and for reaching out to us. You will find slow travel will cost much less than actually living in Canada.
Here is part 1 and 2 of our Goodbye Canada series.- If you ever have any questions - please reach out anytime.
Cheers,
Jill and Randy

My wife and I went to Prince Court Medical for our medical exams and for $600 each, it's hands-down way better value than paying into the Canadian tax system for our highly inefficient and underserviced healthcare. My dad, now 83, gets so much runaround with multiple referrals and waiting times in the span of months for semi-urgent issues. If he were in Malaysia, I know he would be sorted out far more quickly and comprehensively.
I agree with trading taxes in Canada for the lower cost of living, medical insurance and freedom to travel. Enjoy the good life and we will join you on the same journey soon!
Hey there,
Thanks so much for sharing. Yes, we were absolutely blown away with Prince Court Medical. There is such a fear and misconception about healthcare around the world beyond the US and Canada.
I was shocked at the quality and the efficiency and realized what we have been missing. BTW we absolutely love KL!
I think the Canadian governments should be ashamed of what they have done to healthcare in Canada. The government has no money. They spend more on servicing the debt than what they spend on healthcare.
Thanks so much for watching. If you get an opportunity please watch the other 2 parts to this series of Goodbye Canada.

Fantastic information guys! I really appreciate Randy mentioning that the Wellness package could potentially be included gratis with a little negotiation. I wouldn't have thought to try, so this is perfect. Great healthcare stories too - I'm glad everybody is doing well and got what they needed. Thanks again for the information!!
And thank you so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond. I am a firm believer everything can be negotiated. No one is ever going to give it to you. You have to ask for it. Negotiating saves us tens of thousands of dollars during our travels.
I hope your videos get out further…..we watched your videos with friends on the weekend while watching the northern lights…… and the couple with us agree and are also following you. Looking forward to the tips and tricks and your experience…..great job guys and happy wife happy life. Happy retirement. Cheers !
Wow, thank you. And thanks so much for watching our videos, and taking the time to respond.
Lots of good ideas, sorry our Canadian Health Care kept you waiting. You quote a $7000 yearly plan . Each? For that money I would expect the best care too. And like the US they just bill the insurance. How much insurance can you use before they raise the premiums?
Are the deductibles the same for every procedure or doctor visit. I too am in Mexico , but as a tourist 6 months, leave and come back. I also own a home, have a bank account in Mexico
. I’m confused on why you gave up your residency. You got millions for your place on the island and can afford/buy your health anywhere you go. I’ve travelled enough to know that all international doctors are nice to anyone who paying them US currency.
The majority of us are not so lucky/wealthy.
I am in the opinion that this info is for a select few that are millionaires, not retired government pensioners.
I use the local medical services as a resident, I have yearly medical coverage for $ millions in case of an emergency.
They mentioned their cost of living is $5,200/month (probably USD), so well within reason. Of course, It's not for everyone, and they mentioned that many retirees are afraid of the medical cost liability, so trying to ease the concerns?
Actually this is Canadian dollars. $5200.00 Canadian a month for the two of us. This includes health insurance.
We did a 3 part series on our journey.

Thank you for taking the time to explain it.
Glad it was helpful! And thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
I fell seriously ill in Mexico and got first class medical treatment.
My daughter was not feeling well for some time and went to emergency,( there she waited 8 hours UNTILL a doctor was able to examine her) now she has to wait 3 month for a specialist….thats Canada.
Thought I visited the emergency last year and got look at with one hour and was treated very well.
We are glad you’re feeling better now, and received prompt quality medical attention. The few times we’ve needed it we have received quality care as well. And thanks so much for watching our videos, And taking the time to respond.
Great information. Thanks for doing the research. And… thanks for the video.
Our pleasure! And thanks so much for watching your videos and taking the time to respond.
Keep up the great work!
I m heart patient in calgary. I agree with you
I’m from Alberta. Poor health care is common here. People are disillusioned if they think it’s very good because it’s free. It’s not free when tax payer funded. Our family sought better care for our 13 year old daughter. It set us back 75k to have spine surgery for her in Turkey. Prior to that I had not known much about Turkey but I can tell you what an advanced hospital it was in every aspect. If people had something to compare to they’d know Canadian hospitals and many doctors/specialists are extremely subpar here.
Yes, Canada health care has been in steady decline for a long time. I hope your daughter is doing well now. And I also hope the government subsidized the cost to you. And thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
Excellent video and thank you for providing and posting all the information!!
Hi there, thanks for watching our video and taking the time to respond. Hopefully we can have some more useful information for you in the near future. We will be meeting with our accountant and portfolio manager when we get back to Canada and will have videos out shortly there after.
We’re very happy for you
Thank you. And thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
I'm 35, and have been leaving Canada for about 6 months per year for the last 6 years. Junior snowbird haha. Your videos are interesting, looking forward to one focused on tax implications of emigration.
Thank's for watching and for taking the time to reach out. 35 you must be doing something right - keep up the good work.
We will do a detailed tax video in early July. We are hoping our accountant will come on the channel. Our portfolio manager (David LePoidevin) has confirmed he will come on the channel - should be a good one! You will find the second video interesting about how much home ownership actually cost.

Thank you so very much for making this video & sharing this important information with us. Please don’t get discouraged by comments that are not supportive. Many people do not travel or only take two week holidays and their opinions are based on their limited experiences. Keep up the good work! I will look forward to your next video.
Well put. There will always be bitter people out looking for an argument
Thank you so much! That nonsense will never deter us! So many people with fear, ignorance, self righteous and jealousy.

Informative, especially if you want to travel and live outside of Canada.
I used one of these companies when I was an expat in South Korea. Got the best medical service.
Glad to hear that you got the medical service you deserve. And thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to reach out.
Reside in North Van city and have zero issues with the healthcare I have received over the years. There was a 7 month min. waiting list for a BC Cancer agency clinical trial on prostate cancer, yet I was accepted within 3 weeks. I think it depends where you reside, rural Canada for ex. could be an issue, and some other metro areas. No issue in seeing my family doc or dropping into a walk in clinic if need be at all. Emergency at LGH has been acceptable as well, at least for me.
Also have a home in rural Thailand, and have used their system a couple of times. The first time, I was amazed that I could actually purchase a prescription within a hospital and not need to go elsewhere and the cost was affordable; the second visit was a classic. Fainted, hit my head on pavement (to this day the cause was never determined, and this is 15 yrs. ago). Within 15 minutes I was having a Cat scan at a private hospital, stayed overnight, my family could stay with me in the same room. 95% covered by insurance at the time (work and credit cards). Released the next day.
I’m in Vancouver island. As a health care worker over 30 years, I was Vancouver coastal Health as well as worked under Fraser Health and Vancouver island health authority. Each health authority in BC is funded based on census for the area. North shore you are under VCH . That is one of the biggest in BC hence the better access. I’m under VIHA very low funding and it’s only the island. I’ve been in a wait list for the Nanaimo pain clinic for spinal stenosis therapy for EIGHT YEARS! My life is in trouble . Unable to work and living with chronic pain and disabilities that long . Maid starts to look good apparently that’s a possible option for me.
Hey thanks for sharing your experiences both in Canada and abroad. It's nice to hear positive stories, it leaves us a little more hopeful.
Like Terry mentions, in Canada healthcare can be good, however so many people are falling through the cracks. The headlines across Canada are prominent everyday.
Personally, I always had to exaggerate my systems just to get a mammogram. Mammograms were always suppose to happen every year now it's 3. Colon cancer that runs in my family- there is a 2 year wait list. I think you really have to advocate for yourself in the healthcare system.
Canada''s healthcare is now reactionary not preventative.

Excellent. That’s definitely not bad if it includes rent, travel, medical etc. Much appreciated.
All last year - we had over 40 plus flights , 3 liveaboard dive boats where we rented all of gear …
We can live for much less with slow travel. Our next video will be on this 😊
Thank you very much
Our pleasure. And thank you so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
You help by doing your part and contacting your local MP's to voice your dissatisfaction and by helping those of us still here trying to get rid of a government that created most of these problems.
The bottom line, you can write and write but nothing gets done, The government is so far into debt, they spend more on servicing the debt than on healthcare. Then the new taxes will drive more and more health professionals away. Healthcare will decline significantly more in the future.
The fight is too big and we want to live our later years with peace, comfort and quality.

I had cancer and during covid. I was put in a hospital cleaning room which was used for my surgery 😢 So done with Canada healthcare.👎
Sorry to hear about your experiences. So many people are falling through the cracks. I hope you are doing better now. There is no preventative care anymore, it's reactionary at best.
The wait times for MRI, colonoscopy's are ridiculous. I tried to post this video on Facebook and it's been censored- I can't post.

I really love your channel. Please continue to inform and entertain us at the same time. I don't know if I would be able to leave Canada one day, I still love this country that has given me so much. Things become more difficult in a lot of countries, politics, economies, wars and so on. In my youth, I have lived in France and still have family and friends there. Normally, France could be a country for my retirement, but I am not so sure now. I read and watch the news and they are far from comforting . Anyways, qui vivra verra
Hi there. Thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond. You’re right, the world is changing. That is why we are trying to keep our options open. We are just releasing a video today on our nomad life. A few drawbacks, but we love the lifestyle. We discuss it all, in our upcoming nomads video. Hope you can check it out.
Thanks for your helpful and super informative content. We are in the process of exiting Canada, but are being held up with the lackluster real estate market in BC. I wish we’d figured it out 2 years ago like the two of you! At that time we knew we wanted to leave this province, but it wasn’t until about a year ago that we realised it’s time (for us) to leave Canada. We’ve lived overseas before, and are looking forward to our next chapter.
Hey there,
Hope you sell your home, I'm sure you will feel a big relief!

Thanks! I did watch those other videos a few days ago 👍. I’m looking forward to seeing where your adventures lead you. 😊
Thanks for the info! Checking out Uruguay/Chile or country close to them "on paper" for myself.
We have not yet been to South America. But it’s on our to do list. Thanks so much for watching our videos and reaching out.
what about becoming non residents for tax purposes? Pros and cons? My wife and I are debating this as an option
That is why we became non-residents. We are meeting with our accountant early July and should have a video out shortly there after. We will discuss exactly how much we are saving when we have better numbers. Thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to reach out.
We’re looking to move to Tuscany I can’t find any reasonable reasons to stay in Canada anymore!!
I have heard really great things about Tuscany. We will be there later this year. Hopefully we bump into you. And thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
Would you happen to know how much that wellness check up be if you were to pay out of pocket? Trying to figure out if we want just travel health insurance for catastrophic events, emergencies and supplement with out of pocket expenses for routine medical or go full health insurance. Thank you!
I don’t have an exact number so please don’t quote me. I’m just guessing when I say about seven or $800. You could try going to Prince Court hospital website. They might have pricing there.
Did you need to have any physicals or tests done before they granted you coverage, or was it only a questionnaire/ filling out paperwork?
No we didn’t. Some of the other insurers requested that. But Cigna did not. We did have to disclose previous illnesses and any prescriptions that we were on. But that was about it. And thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
Is that medical insurance $7K each or combined? That's an important distinction. Also, I'm curious to know if you are receiving CPP and OAS from Canada and - if so - how that is paid to you. You sure make life look good, but what is your annual / monthly budget as a couple?
Hi there. The price we quoted for the Medical covers the both of us. And yes I still am collecting my Cpp And Oas period as for budgets and what have you please check out our last video. I have enclosed the link.

When your friends get back to Alberta from Mexico they are covered on day one.British Columbia seasonal travellers have to wait 3 months for coverage from provincial medical
Yes that is the case. But only if they have been away from BC for more than six months. Thanks so much for watching our videos.
Maybe don't tell them you are travelling? Why would you?
@@tandanielle3875they know. You passport is scanned as you check in for your flight and they know the day you left and the day you return
@@tandanielle3875when you cross the border they know.
@@hexxlaxx2992 I know someone who has lived in Mexico for years and no they don't know. They just want you to think that. Screw them and their shitty health care system anyway, It's so pathetic that people actually worry about being away too long to lose their "healthcare".
I am also in BC in the Langley area. We have travelled extensively during our working life, and have just starting our first year of longer trips. Keep the Videos coming very informative
I have a couple of questions,
* Do you or is the option open to return to Canada in the future if you chose or required long term care.
* Is this insurance policy available to Canadians who still reside in Canada
* Is and FM3 card an option? I know it will not save any taxes ( My father lived in Mexico but never gave up his citizenship, he elected to just get his FM3 card. He purchased a medical plan in Mexico but it was only valid in Mexico
Hi there. Thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond. Yes we can come back to Canada anytime we choose. I’m sure the policy would be available to residents of Canada if they so desired, but it’s best that you check with Cigna. And lastly I always thought the FM3 was a visa to visit Mexico. It used to give you 180 days. From what I understand that is now at the discretion of the person you speak with at Immigration.
I always find I have many things to say about topics but I will try and keep it short. First, about 3 years ago I lost my doctor here in Canada as he retired, he was 76 years old, he had stayed on a couple years longer to try and find another doctor to take his patients but couldn't. Finally he had to start referring his patients to a clinic that had opened up. Well, I went to the clinic once and will never go there again. Second thing I want to mention is about the cost. You said you are paying $7,728 USD for the two of you. Well, I looked up the information and I found out that in 2023 it cost each Canadian $6,400 USD in taxes to pay for health care in Canada. Considering not everyone in Canada pays taxes, that means that some people are paying a lot more while some pay a lot less. And considering many people cannot get a doctor or have to wait months or years to meet one, you can see we are not getting good value for our money. Except for the one trip to the clinic in 2021, the last time I was to a doctor was in 2019 for a checkup and the time before that was over 5 years prior. I know because my doctor gave me a hard time for not going to see him on a more regular basis for checkups. I told him I wasn't having any issues, was still very active (playing multiple sports, hiking, biking, etc.) so didn't feel the need to go see him. Guess I was one of those people paying a lot more to support those who paid little to nothing.
Wow... what a great message and thank you for sharing your thoughts.
In BC - if you want a check up - you now have to pay for it separately.
A mammogram after 40 - use to be every year - now its every 2-3 years. If you need a colonoscopy it's at least a 2 year wait.
So what are you really getting in Canada ?
My checkup was so thorough: A mammogram, Pap test, bone density test, pelvic ultra sound, complete blood work, ECG, stress test, met with the cardiologist, hearing test, eye test, complete blood work, meet with dietician, met for an hour with the physician. I have never experienced a check up like this!
This is preventative care verses reactionary. The $7,728 USD includes this check up plus there are even more things like cancer screening tests etc - all this is inclusive to this price.
We say go where you are treated best.

@@jillpemberton1434 The last time I was poked and prodded like that was when I was young and was going through medical testing to get into the military to be a pilot. They poked and prodded areas I didn't know I had. Think my testing including medical testing was conducted over 3 days of non stop written, verbal, and medical testing.
I have a question about accessing healthcare in Caba St. Lucas. Can a person on a 2 week vacation just make an appointment for a health check up and pay private? I’m from Alberta and also would like my husband to see a cardiologist.
Yes you can. I can’t recommend anyone personally, but it should be no problem to arrange. Thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
I couldn't hear where she had the fantastic health care. (7:20) .....San Jose...?

I gotta ask even though you may not be able to offer a helpful answer. Can residents of Canada get some kind of international coverage even if they don't/can't leave the country?
Hi there. I can’t answer your question with any certainty. Maybe try contacting Cigna. Good luck. And thanks so much for watching our videos.
Thank you.
Canada has been the THIRD COUNTRY for a long time already ....
It is really sad the direction of Canada. My parents were immigrants that came to Canada for opportunity and today those days are gone. The government is riddled in debt. They spend more on servicing the debt than what they do on healthcare.

How about medicare? How are you covered for any necessary medication?
For ongoing prescriptions we are not covered. For any prescription needed to treat new illnesses or injuries discovered. Thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
Wonder, how fluently doctors and nurses speak English in Mexico on example of yr treatment there? Thank you! Which hospital and where in Mexico you could recommend? Thank you!
Hi there. Every doctor or healthcare professional I’ve spoken with in Los Cabos has spoken English fluently. If we were to single out one hospital to visit it would be H+. We are releasing a video in the next day or two focusing on only Mexico. Hope you can check it out.
I’m curious why the health plan with Cigna excluded the USA ?
The US is available with Cigna. Unfortunately the cost is considerably more. I think it says something about US healthcare. I am not an expert but I would guess it is probably the most expensive in the world. We can spend up to three weeks in the US though with coverage. Thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
New subscriber here and love your channel. Also fellow british colombian.you forgot to mention that jab mandates for medical professionals are still in place in BC. 18000 health care professionals cannot work, many have also left the province due to billc36. So whos left? The order followers. Canada is descending and now perhaps the people are getting the government they deserve. If you dont fight and stand up for freedom, you dont deserve it. Thats where we are at. Now many leaving, my family is also planning exit strategy.
I wasn’t aware of that. That combined with his latest capital gains increase is forcing a lot of our medical professionals out. I am sorry to say but I believe it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
I do have to say that the yearly cost is extremely high though. Regardless of the coverage.
Hi there,
I guess the big picture and the bottom line is that our quality of life has improved immensely.
We reduced our taxes, we reduced our cost of living significantly and we now have real healthcare. Over all cost of living for the two us is $5200.00 CAD for the two of us/ month, which includes effective healthcare.
Here are two other that will complete the series of Goodbye Canada

Agree too high
It’s too bad that we can’t get health care in the US. I’m not comfortable with travel as I have a deathly fear of flying and the only travel I can do is by land. I envy people that can afford this type of lifestyle. It’s just not possible for me both financially and physically. Hopefully our government can come up with a better system
Well I hope the government comes up with a better system as well. Unfortunately they’re cash strapped. We have drove down to Mexico several times. The drive down the Baja is spectacular. And thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond
Is this insurance good for 21 days trips ? Does that mean I have to come back to Canada every 3 weeks ?
Hello. The insurance is good anywhere in the world except the US for 365 days a year. It is only valid for a 21 day trip to the United States. We have attached links to our other videos in the leaving Canada series. Thanks for reaching out, and we hope you enjoy the other videos.

Hi there,
Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Yes, could not agree with you more, this is just of the many reasons why we left. The government thinks they can tax their way out of debt.More and more doctors will leave. The fact is so many people are saying enough.

Does that include your rent/housing cost?
Yes everything… watch the other videos and you see our quality of life. We can even reduce that number by now doing slow travel. Another video will be coming out about that 😊
In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no culture, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, only modern slavery, worst healthcare system, unbearable political correctness, crime infested/drug infested, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become a North Korea style dictatorship in the western world.
There are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions, welfare, unemployment benefits, disability benefits and the numerous other programs, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia.
Multiculturalism destroys the fabric and identity of a country. Socialism bankrupts a country.

You dont talk about a serious issue like cancer. Whay is that????? Im so thankful to the care our Canadian doctors, I was done with my treatment in less than 6 month,now Im a very healthy lady.
Hi Cecilia,
So glad to hear that you are a healthy lady again. The Canadian healthcare has some great stories like yours but tragically there are too many people falling through the cracks of healthcare.
Canada spends more on servicing the debt than healthcare. The new tax laws will also send more doctors and healthcare workers away. The system is declining everyday. ER rooms are closed and waiting times are long depending where you live.
Thankfully, neither Randy and I have had cancer. The healthcare systems in Mexico, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia are excellent, we would be well looked after. The hospitals are outstanding.
Colon cancer runs in my family, yet I could not get a colonoscopy for 2 years. Now I have immediate access and peace of mind. Preventative care verses reactionary.

Canada has health care? Last time I checked, too many people die while waiting in the ER. Our health care cost is embedded in our tax system. So it’s not free. I think you guys might be paying less than us.
Hi there. When you factor things in we are paying considerably less than before. Thanks so much, for watching our videos and taking the time to respond. Hope you can check out our latest nomad video. Should be out later today.
I am shocked that you get questions about CPP and OAS from people at this stage in their lives. One we pay into and the other is a social program and you should know the years needed to be eligible for all or a partial payment and its easy to find online. You can even have payments direct deposited to your account in the currency of your choice. And look out for clawback if you make to much but then thats a good problem HAHA
Are you aware that the clawback is not applicable to non-residents. Thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
@@jillpemberton1434 I am many years away from recieiving but good to know thanks

@@jillpemberton1434so the $7,000 quote covers both of you?
@@petewick8627 Yes! This is for the two of us. Prices vary on every single person due to your age and if you are on any medications or have pre -existing conditions.
@@jillpemberton1434 thanks for answering. We moved to Vallarta two years ago for similar reasons I’m guessing but we have chosen a different health insurance
Let's not forget the Private health care in poor countries or less developed are a draw for expats as locals could never afford that type of care, so it's not that their HC system is better its just if you're wealthy enough in that country you could have private HC amd access to the best practices. Also Cigna health is the most expensive HC plan out there, i went to GENKI as they offer the same service(Allianz) and 0 Deductible for 2 people my cost is 260/mth Canadian.
Hi there. Thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond. With your healthcare, what is your age, and do you have any pre-existing conditions. It all effects the cost. I will definitely check this other company out. We’re not saying Cigna is the cheapest. It just seem like the best deal with the research that we did.
Wow. You obviously have struck a nerve with some people. Are you aware that Facebook will not allow anyone to share this video. Does Justin have his dirty little fingers tied in with Facebook now.

I have come to believe that the Canadian experience has been so extremely distorted by all the hype created by those that want us to believe that if you don't like what you have, you'll get what they have in the USA.
So the local system hides behind the largest pile of steaming sh!t on the planet just to the south of us, claiming it's so much better here, when in fact, the pile here is just a little smaller.
I will say of all the countries on my list, USA isn’t one of them

My Father's been waiting for an MRI for 2 years. They think it could still be years until he gets it. He can't feel from his knee through to and including his foot. He's not a priority though.

I contacted Jari Zavadil about health care coverage with Cigna, but honestly how do you know this policy and company are any good, have you ever had a claim? Maybe you talked to other people that have coverage with this company? And they had claims? $7500 USD is a lot, that's close to $10,000 CAD, but as you said you are paying less taxes and your cost of living is way less than here in Canada, so I understand where you are coming from, my wife and I are in a similar situation as you guys are, we are just a year or 2 behind you, we hopefully will sell our property this summer, and set up our investment portfolio with David this fall, then go travelling full time!!!!

Hi there. I’m curious what it is you think that we have for sale. I would love to see our healthcare system improve. The problem is I don’t know how that’s going to happen. We need cash to fund it. The wasteful spending of governments have created huge financing costs, that us and our children will be paying off for a long long time. Did you know that we spend more on financing our debt than we do on healthcare in Canada.Also instead of attracting more doctors and healthcare professionals, we are chasing them away. It will be interesting to see how many we lose over this latest capital gains fiasco. But, you keep drinking the Justin Trudeau Kool-Aid. I hope things turn out well for you.
@@jillpemberton1434 you are selling private health insurance packages. It is very clear. What does make you assume that I am a Trudeau’s supporter? Bad governments don’t last forever. If you have lost faith in your country, that’s your problem. Don’t comeback, we don’t need you.
Never forget that Canada make you guys

Please watch your grammar: 'the annual cost for Randy and I" is incorrect. If the sentence makes sense without Randy in it, then the I is correct. If the sentence still makes sense if you take Randy out of the sentence, then you'll know whether to use I or me. In this case, it makes no sense if you say "The annual cost for I". This is the easiest grammar issue, so how do people get this wrong? It sounds uneducated, and it's an easy fix.

Agree with the terrible state of Healthcare in Canada. Disagree with your 'solutions' of private care - it is for the privileged. You are coming from a very privileged point of view. I live in Vancouver and work with immigrants who have different views on health care here depending on their class. Most come from countries with extreme wealth disparity. (the way we are going). Those who immigrated here from lower class (ie. nannies etc from Philipinnes, farm workers from Mexico) rave about the equality of health care in Canada. Those who come from high class who can afford private health care in their country hate it here. I tell them they can pay for private services, and they often fly home. Ask who can afford those private fancy hospitals in Mexico, and Malaysia. You are advocating change for the privileged. Growth of inequalilty in Canada and the rest of the world just means bad public services.
Hi there,
Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Canada's system and healthcare is unfortunately failing everyone. The weekly headlines of people dying in the ER rooms, dying on wait and so on is more than alarming. Health expenditures in the United States average out at $12,914 per person, nearly double the $6,500 spent per person in Canada. We pay approximately $4500.00 each for private. We chose to leave Canada.We took progressive action advocating for our own healthcare. Today, we pay far less for our healthcare and our care is now: immediate, efficient and is based on preventative care verses reactionary. Now I can get cancer screening for colon cancer since this is a hereditary disease and not wait for 2-3 years for an exam. Everyone should have the right to advocate for their own well being.
We no longer depend on the Canadian system for anything, since we no longer live in Canada. The focus should be on why tax dollars are being so miss managed at the expense of the Canadian tax payer. More and more doctors are leaving Canada due to the new tax laws. The Big excessive Canadian Government is trying to tax their way out of debt and it fails everyone. More and more end up saying enough and
leave.

I contacted Cigna independently before I saw their video, and my numbers were comparable. The reason I contacted Cigna in the first place was because they seemed to offer a good product. They're not shills.
As I mention to another viewer, we do not receive one penny from Cigna or anyone else. TH-cam requires channels to disclose compensation from sponsors.
@@jillpemberton1434 I stand corrected. I will take down my uninformed comment. Please forgive. Since you did not disclose in your video, I assumed you were indeed sponsored
Please enjoy your travels without crapping all over Canada. Our healthcare may not be perfect but it far better than most countries.
I’m sorry but I have to totally disagree with you. Thanks for watching our videos taking the time to respond though.
It's not better than most countries. Time for you to get out and educated yourself. I'm not sure why people are so keen to defend health care in Canada (which is significantly challenged right now and going to get worse) without having a clue about the rest of the world. You have fallen so far behind, you won't ever catch up. And it's precisely because Canadians like you remain in denial about the overall state of the country and don't vote or engage in a way to effect meaningful change. Apathy is not the way forward.
These are not hospitals & a medical services for the average citizens of the poorer countries that much richer Canadians, Americans & European traveller/expats go to. They are in reality high-end medical resort destinations in countries where it's the vast majority of its own citizenry are too poor to access these facilities & many having zero medical access to any type of doctor or surgery their entire lives.
There's a reason your 1st world Canadian dollars go so far in all these poor underprivileged countries. It's because their money is near worthless in comparison & you earn/collect more money in an a week or month than they do in a year. You should be ashamed to go to these places and take advantage of these poorer nation's poor situations while the local population a block away could never get medical help there.
Can you image if there was mass medical travel to Canada to an elite medical system unavailable to all but the richest Canadians & wealthy foreigner with the
masses here having terrible, or no, access to the decrepit public system??? What would would the non-1% Canadian populace say?
If you want to leave Canada & live as an expat/world traveller telling those citizens who remain how bad Canada is... you should renounce your citizenship & the other terrible Canadian government programs like your CPP & OAS pensions.
Hey thanks for watching our video, and taking the time to respond. You have an interesting outlook. Do you figure maybe we should take some of our Canadian healthcare dollars and send it off to support poor countries healthcare systems? What’s the difference. When we left Canada we freed up the healthcare demand by two. And as far as Cpp goes I paid into it my whole life. It is mine no matter where I decide to spend my time. I also paid into the Canadian system my whole life.
Sorry Ernie but you are wrong. We had an issue in Ecuador saw a GP at a Free clinic. We were referred to 2 Specialists in the same day. We paid the bills ourselves and it was just over $100.00. The local folks don’t pay a cent! These videos are exposing Canadas dirty secrets as politicians slowly force the American model of Health Care on us. Please don’t criticize folks who saw the light and decided they deserved better and did something about it.
I’m reading one of the comments that@ron95754 posted, saying Facebook blocked him from sharing this video???😱 that’s INSANE! Talk about over-reach! Where are we? Cuba?
Hi. I was thinking the same thing. I am hoping others try to forward this on Facebook. If they get back to me letting me know they were blocked as well, we will do whatever we can to correct this.

We just have to confirm there wasn’t some other reason this individual was blocked. Thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
Cuba has much better, more modern and most importantly FREE healthcare for all its citizens. The capitalistic inhumane isolated black hole, called USA can only dream about such a thing! Cuba is superior over USA as far as the healthcare is concerned!😊
I was blocked by Facebook, stating that the video violates their community standards. It's not the government blocking you. It's Facebook.
Facebook has been blocked sharing any news. That bill passed a while ago. If you want news, it's on youtube or X.
I attempted to Share this on Facebook and they blocked me and would NOT ALLOW ME TO POST THIS VIDEO.
Hmmmmmm. That’s very interesting. It would be interesting to see if any of our other viewers get the same result. If that’s the case. We will have to do some digging and find out exactly what’s going on. I find it hard to believe they would be censoring information like this. It is common knowledge in Canada, what a disaster our healthcare system is. Thanks so much for watching our videos and bringing this to our attention.
@@jillpemberton1434 Canada has become far far to LIBERAL and people will report you to authorities here if we don't think the same as they do. I want out of Canada in the worst way and am doing everything possible to achieve that.
@@jillpemberton1434 This is just happening to me too!!! It doesn't allow me to post it. It got stocked in "posting...". I tried twice, and both with the same result. I can take an screenshot if you want.
Be honest this video I promot Cigma becouse $7000 pay a yr lol that lots ,you can have cheaper one there is lots what another videos recommend for travelers
YOU VIDEO IS PROMOTION ,YOU GET FREE OR 50 % OFF FOR PROMOTE THIS SIMPLE T H AT
@pampamela636 Can you please share what you found that was cheaper full coverage medical insurance? It's different than "travel insurance". Some people confuse the two. Not saying you are, but would be good to understand what these other options might be, if you can share.
Hi there. We can honestly say we do not make one penny from Cigna or anyone else. We did a lot of research before we finally settled on Cigna. Fortunately, we have not made a claim yet other than the wellness program. You truly don’t know how good an insurance company is until you need them. We heard a lot of good things about them so went with them. If we do have to make a claim and are the least bit unsatisfied, our viewers will be the first ones to hear about it. You should also know,It is a requirement on TH-cam to disclose any payment or compensation you receive. Thanks for watching our videos on taking the time to respond.
@briangudger3466 lots youtubers traveles have this and they show when they are in hospitals and show the bill snd is 0
The sad part is a lot of Canadians can't afford this 🫣🫣
And unfortunately, that number is increasing. Thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
