Thanks for this episode. Just want to share filipino mentality on Western safety net mentality. In the Philippines, if you need to eat, you are surrounded by water so go fish. If you can’t fish, the land is fertile so stick something to the ground and it will grow. And before you get old, make some kids to do this for you. Safety net is DIY over there.

Save money for interest bearing account,, get Travel insurance, renewable, apply for PhilHealth, senior discounts and do exercises. Keep shopping around. Preventative is cheaper in the Philippines, such as MD consultation and some diagnostics test, this is if you are receiving US dollars.

I appreciate the info from Goldfinger regarding first hand experience with the expat health insurance. I have heard other you tubers talk about the need for this without really giving their experience. At 50 I think I'm going to continue to self insure. I'm a Vet and use the VA in Manila but it's very limited even if you're service connected. If you have scripts from the US you can bring those bottles to Mercury and they will refill them for you. I'm told that BP and cholesterol meds are relatively inexpensive.

you two are a great duo, Laurel and Hardy. thanks for the humor and the serious information. Goldfinger has the heart of gold. I applaud him and you for all the caring you guys give. Was wondering if Goldfinger checked into Phil Health for medical insurance. I agree, it's very expensive for health insurance for older expats, like myself...74. Self insured scares me a little, but I can understand why many expats don't get the insurance. Not having a nest egg of large amount, the insurance would seem a safety net.

Great interview guys ! First, Mike Onstad is the BEST insurance guy to deal with for ex-pats here (or anyone). But a few corrections on Pacific Cross coverage ... $2500 (not $1K) deductible gets you a 30% discount on premiums. The older you are, the more expensive the premiums. I'm 76 and mine is over $3500/yr and will increase as I get older. I do pay a little extra for TRT rider. And I don't know if you can be treated in another country (except for emergency) but they don't cover airfare.

Great Video Paul !!! I always wondered why Goldfinger was donating helmets instead of feeding the kids. The food thing and starving kids and retired Filipinos has been an issue over there a very long time. Remember, for just 1 meal they need very high calorie food regardless of nutrient value. Yes - Rice is Life, but fatty foods can be very helpful in those settings as well. My wifes family does not have much and I help with food, medical and dental costs for her parents as well as her daughter, (my daughter now that we are married), and her parents are around 70 and rely totally on family and still go hungry when visiting 2 of the other sisters. It is very sad to see.

@-goldfinger26953 ай бұрын
No, not worth the cost of transportation and housing, the states are too slow at making appointments with the requirements of referrals. Hence it takes months to get anything done in the states and your MEDICARE deductible is all you would pay for the procedure here or in Thailand. Besides being only 15% of the cost in the States ,Thailand has better equipment and are faster too.

Cpap is cheaper without insurance. You could buy a resmed air mini out of pocket that can be powered by a usb power bank which is perfect for traveling and regular use in countries with brownouts.

If you have a long-term residence in the Philippines, I think you're qualified for Phil Health insurance.

Hi @cristinacejudo1924 Good point! We've got PhilHealth coverage and it's been a huge help. Thanks for sharing your insight!

Juat to make it explicitly clear to your audience, accidents are covered immediately, everything else in 30 days. Preexisting conditions are subject to a 12 month waiting period and an additional premium to cover at your option. Permanent exclusion is possible depending on the severity.

Thank you Michael Onsted of Pacific Cross Insurance FYI, Insurance is a necessity, especially if you're so far from home , medicare will not help unless you go home which takes more than a day travel and at a very costly ticket . Anyone traveling from afar should get international coverage before leaving home. JS Hope for the best Plan for the worst ❤

Goldfinger rocks! A video with Goldfinger is enjoyable. A few takeaways. - Hypertension is a broad exclusion and a very low threshold to have given the ever lowering blood pressure number. Can the insurer then say your cardiac issue is related to hypertension? - The grabbers are great as is the food program. Be prepared that once you start giving out things from your house, it is inevitable that others, children and adults will come for food and money: Somehow, one person tells another, and it will be a constant stream of people you cannot accommodate. Look forward to the next Goldfinger video. Bring Goldfinger on a livestream. Love watching you guys from New York.

Good response. You sound very informed and knowledgeable. I agree about feeding people from the house. It’s a very delicate situation. I appreciate your opinion. Eleanor from Canada

Probably better to set-up a specific time and place. Someplace separate from the home. I heard of several people getting in trouble with donations and giveaways. In one instance. The foreigner couldn't even handout the food. It had to be a local handing the meals to the kids. Otherwise they'd shut it down. Because the foreigner would be "working". It can get very complicated.

Good show Paul ! - - - You survived this " event " and will live to tell about it !?! --- The insurance is a huge pain in the ass !!! > These insurance companies don't want any risk - do they ? All those tests to determine - IF - they will cover him ? = BS - in my 'humble' opinion !!! ( 🤗 ) Self insure if at all possible ? ! ? - - - Keep up the good works my friend. 🙏 👍 ❤

Great job on the laps dude seriously. But be careful not to lose too much too fast. I saw a study that says men with some belly fat live longer than really thin men. I’m not a dr so who knows. But it sounds easy that you’re doing laps every day but it’s not. So good for you. 🎉

Great follow up video Paul. Goldfinger is a great guy doing good things for the Dumaguete Community. I wish you guys could pull together and start a Expats Club like we have in Pattaya, Thailand. I was here for a ten day trip from Thailand. Did all my errands and tasks. Its definitely 10° cooler here everday. Makes it alot easier getting around.
