Kobbe Beach, Panama
Live from IL’s Live and Invest in Panama Seminar
“So give me the downside…what’s the ugly underbelly here you’re not telling us about?”
I’m Suzan Haskins and this is the last note you’ll receive from me from our 2009 International Living Live and Invest in Panama Seminar at the gorgeous Playa Bonita Resort, just outside the capital city.
I overheard the conversation above between a gentleman from Arizona and Anne-Michelle Wand, an expat who moved to Panama a few years ago.
Anne-Michelle has been living her dream life, splitting her time between the mountains of Colorado and the beaches of Hawaii. At least she thought it was her dream life…until she visited Panama. She quickly sold out of the U.S. and moved to Panama.
“I have a house in the mountains of Boquete, beachfront property in Bocas del Toro, and a condo in Panama City…the perfect golden triangle,” she says. She couldn’t be happier, and no matter how hard she’s looked, I heard her tell the man from Arizona, she has yet to find anything ugly about Panama.
Even Rainelda Mata-Kelly, our expert attorney here in Panama couldn’t dampen the crowd’s spirits…and she talked about taxes! You’re not liable to pay many of those at all in Panama…if you buy a new home here you’re eligible for a property tax exemption of as much as 20 years!
Low Cost, High Quality Health Care (Including Pioneering Anti-aging Treatments)
Health care reform. It’s the big debate in the States right now. It’s something everyone cares about. Everyone has an opinion. Usually, a strong one.
“I don’t like what’s going on in the U.S. right now,” a doctor from Texas told me over cocktails. He and his wife are thinking of moving to Panama with their two youngest high school-aged kids. He’s ready to bail out on his health care career and do something else. Become a part-time farmer, maybe.
He…like many others at the International Living Live and Invest in Panama Seminar the past three days…is pleased with what he’s learned about health care in Panama.
There are excellent hospitals here, including the brand new state-of-the-art Punta Pacifica Hospital, affiliated with the U.S.’s well-respected Johns Hopkins Hospital. The latest technology is there (even more than in many hospitals in the U.S.), and most of the doctors speak fluent English.
And it’s all very inexpensive, as expat after expat has mentioned: $10-$30 for a doctor’s visit, $5 for blood tests.
According to Dr. Michael Sigler, who took the stage yesterday, some procedures and treatments (especially anti-aging and preventative) are available in Panama that you just won’t find in the States or Canada…
Health insurance, too, is a fraction of the cost it is back home, said Dorothy De Sing, from Alianza Insurance. Cheaper still…in a revolutionary move, many Panama hospitals offer private facility-specific plans. Pay a small monthly plan fee and your preferred hospital becomes your major provider for all of your medical needs.
A personal note here: My husband and I have been living outside the U.S. for nearly a decade now. We’ve been more than happy with the top-quality health care we’ve received overseas…and ‘care’ is the key word here. We’re not treated like numbers or cases or checkbooks, but like people with issues and concerns that matter.
Start Your Own Business in Panama
Also today, we’ve learned about construction techniques and costs here (would you believe $60 per square foot?). And we learned how to get our pets to Panama…our household goods…and even the things we buy on eBay and Amazon.
I have yet to meet anyone here at the conference who isn’t thinking seriously about making Panama their home…even some of the presenters who came from other countries are talking about Panama and considering a move here.
After all, it has a stable government, a strong economy (the official currency is the U.S. dollar), a great health care system, and daily living costs are low. And you can drink the tap water.
Today we learned how easy it is to set up a business in Panama. Businesswoman (and yes, expat) Mirella Rugulotto offered resources and contact information for help in setting up a business anywhere in the country. This is ‘need-to-know’ information for my doctor friend or anyone who decides to come here and wants to make a living.
Want to learn more about the good life in Panama? Here’s how…
If you’ve been reading these dispatches these past several days, you know the motherlode of information that’s been shared here in Panama this week. We’ve heard from scores of highly respected professionals…attorneys, business owners, tax specialists, financial advisors, expats who live here, and others who know from whence they speak. By my tally, there have been 40 different presentations on everything from health care … to how to find Panama’s best real estate bargains … to some sound investment opportunities.
We’re putting together a complete package of nearly everything (minus only coffee breaks and cocktail parties) that’s happening at this event. We’re making audio recordings of all 40 of the presentations.
We’re also making copies of the handouts, PowerPoint and visual presentations. And we’re including the complete dossier we gave to each attendee when they arrived here in Panama for the seminar.
It’s our Fast Track Panama Package. And we guarantee it will help you fast track your plans of moving to…or investing in… Panama.
