Why Americans Are Going Abroad for Better Care | Maryam Greenidge

from Death and Dying in the Digital Age · host Niki Weiss

What happens when you can no longer afford to age in place in the United States? For many Americans, a single illness can become a "financial death sentence," with health insurance quotes reaching $4,000 a month for healthy individuals. In this episode of the Digital Legacy Podcast, host Niki Weiss sits down with attorney Maryam Greenidge, author of Chaos to Clarity, to discuss a radical but increasingly popular estate planning strategy: Relocating abroad for healthcare. Maryam shares her personal journey of navigating her mother's debilitating illness and why she now helps Americans reestablish residency in countries like Colombia, Mexico, and Italy to access high-quality, affordable care. You’ll discover: Why basic healthcare in the US has become a "commodity played on the stock market" while international options remain affordable.The truth about the growing number of American seniors and veterans moving abroad for medical security.How you can qualify for residency in countries like Colombia with an income of just $900 USD per month.The logistics of receiving your US benefits and Medicare while living overseas.Why facilities in the US are closing due to mismanagement and why "Medical Tourism" is no longer just for the elite.How to lay the seeds for your 80s and 90s so you can age with dignity without being a burden to your children. Because having a "Final Playbook" means knowing all your options—even the ones that take you across the globe.
