hi, all -
we're planning on moving to Panama, the time factor possibly being who wins the presidential election.
i've read and/or scanned several forums and haven't found an answer to my specific concern.
my husband is almost 71, i am 64. we have health problems, i.e. -COPD and chronic bronchitis which sometimes moves into pneumonia.
my question: i realize we will need private insurance. are there restrictions on age to receive that insurance and what's the real deal on pre-existing conditions on the insurance? would we just have to pay more or would it be impossible to get private insurance. how about the local insurance? what are the requirements there, if we can't get the private kind?
we're strongly considering Boquete - are their lst class hospitals in David? i seem to be hearing varying opinions on that.
we can't live on the coast due to the humidity (which doesn't go well with asthma and COPD) - any other good places you can recommend near doctors and hospitals (if needed) in dryer areas of Panama?
thanks. pat
