Florida Retirement News
Canadian Retirees Can now get Health Insurance in the States
Canadians with pre-existing health conditions who were thinking of a Florida Retirement, are now able to apply for health insurance in the US. The Globe and Mail has reported that a new Health Bill called the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, as part of the Affordable Health Care Act was passed by the US government, and will allow Canadians to receive US health insurance, after certain conditions are met.
Robert Keats, author of The Border Guide said, “When you move to the U.S., you actually get your Old Age Security; it’s not clawed back any more, so that’s $6,000 a year or $500 a month. Plus your Canada pension, a portion of that comes tax-free, and then you pay a lower tax on the part that you pay tax on. So between the Canada pension, tax reduction, and the Old Age Security not being clawed back any more, that is usually more than enough to cover health insurance for a Canadian in the U.S.
