Reply #76: Living outside the USA [View All]

[murray hill farm]

and the age thing! I live in Mexico and collect my social security via direct deposit into my checking account in the USA. I have a pension from the state of michigan...do the same..direct deposit each month. I am still a citizen of the usa..just don't live there. You can live out of the country and still be eligible for medicare..and go back there for treatment that is covered by medicare...not all that much anyway is covered. I have blue cross blue sheild...and get my meds via express scripts in the usa..they are sent to a mail forwarding address in florida..and then sent to me hear in Mexico. I grew up in michigan...so..in the upper penn of mich, we were more Canadian than not up there...and Canada is the most beautiful place...you can do it if you want...there are ways around the USA system of social security and medicare...and you can always just go back into the USA if you do need Medicare covered medical care...and hey....your meds are a lot cheaper in Canada, anyway.
