I'm wondering if anyone knows the answer to this or where to find out but is health insurance available to retirees with pre-existing conditions and, how would the health and dental care quality compare to Costa Rica and Panama? Also, my wife and I are interested in the Cuenca area. All things being equal, is it safe? We would like to rent a 1 or 2 br. apt. with a decent size kitchen and living area. Any info would be greatly apreciated. Thank you.
