Portability of Health Coverage for Retirees Abroad: Lessons from the EU, Options for the US and Designing Arrangements for International Immigrants Who Wish to Return Home
Many retirees are unwilling to retire abroad because the health coverage which they enjoy in their current nation is not available in the country to which they wish to retire.
Medicare in the US covers virtually no services abroad. Although the EU permits retirees to move their entitlements to another EU country that portability does not extend outside the EU. This talk reviews current arrangements, presents research on defacto arrangements and the inter EU experience, and puts options and alternatives in the context of a globalizing world economy.
