US Citizens Might Not Have to Give Up Medicare to Live Abroad

If you are thinking to become a RIPper (Retiree In Paradise), there are some things you might have to give up depending on what country you are a citizen of.

Some government benefits might not apply any longer when living out of the country even for a short time.

Why? Because you cannot qualify if you are a citizen living out of the country. One of these is US Medicare benefits.

Medicare is about the only health care options available to aging US citizens. But with the poor economy and budget deficit many countries like the US are facing, it looks like giving up some of those benefits might be a non-issue soon. Watch.
