Not surprisingly, nearly 7 of 10 senior workers who are approaching retirement cite retirement health care costs as the their primary concern. Once they retire, more than half still say their biggest worry is paying for health care. It’s a legitimate concern.

For American retirees, Medicare doesn’t cover everything, and many retirees lose their employer-provided health care benefits when they retire. Only a small number of retirees leave the workforce with retirement health care coverage, and often, prescription drugs aren’t included in the list of covered expenses.

The cost of health care isn’t the only concern. For retirees from countries where universal health care is provided, the primary concern is the availability of health care coverage. Retirees in these countries cite dissatisfaction with the quality of coverage, the timeliness of medical service delivery and the difficulty in dealing with government-administered health plans. To compensate, they search private treatment in their own countries or abroad.

When it comes to health care services, Puerto Vallarta seems to have it all. You’ll find modern hospitals and well trained doctors, nurses and support personnel.
