Retiring In Mexico & Worried about Healthcare Costs
                     RETIRING IN MEXICO & WORRIED ABOUT 
HEALTHCARE COSTS?
Economic pressure caused by rising healthcare costs is forcing many 
Americans aged 50+ to retire in Mexico. Well-established expat communities, 
low cost of living and warm climate is also some of the reasons why   Mexico 
has become an appealing choice for retirees from America. In fact, Mexico 
was ranked fourth in the list of top 10 countries for retiring in 2020.   
Healthcare facilities in Mexico are affordable and accessible compared to the 
United States of America. According to a report by the International Living, 
cost of common surgeries and procedures in Mexico can be a third of what 
people pay in the USA.

Insurance Options for Retirees in Mexico 
For expats who have or want to apply for a legal residency in 
Mexico, a travel insurance policy won’t work. If you have health 
insurance cover in the country you are living currently, the policy 
might work but, in most cases, you will have to travel back to your 
home country to avail coverage. So, if you wish to retire in Mexico, 
it is best to consider health insurance coverages that will be valid 
and also provide the right solutions for all your healthcare needs. 
Government in Mexico offers affordable healthcare to the citizens 
and resident expats. There are mainly two government sponsored 
insurance systems that you can choose from: Instituto Mexicano 
de Seguro Social (IMSS), run by the federal government and 
Seguro Popular, run by the state government.
