Retiree health insurance - hard to get?l

14 years ago

Hi, I'm considering retiring early in Brazil. I know there's a public health care system but also people buy health insurance to get better access. My question is whether health insurance easier to get ** for people over 50** than it is in the US (basically, here you can't get it if you're over 50 or have any kind of pre-existing condition unless you want to pay $1000-plus per month). Can anybody help me out with this, or suggest a way to research it?

Many thanks, MaryLee
