RE: Canada doesn’t have Arizona

Why would one want to retire in Arizona? How are the summers out there?

In Canada, you’ll go to jail if you call someone a ‘little whippersnapper’.

I haven’t been warm since 1971.
Summers just like I like ‘em.
One day, maybe I’ll get there.

A major benefit for Canadians is the publicly-funded universal healthcare system, which provides them with essential medical services throughout their lives, as well as in retirement, without co-pays or deductibles.

Must one remain physically in Canada to enjoy those benefits for which one worked hard all one's adult life? Or are they suspended if one wishes to retire in, say, Arizona?

I thought so!

Regards,

The difference between Canada and Florida during the winter is about 100F.

This whole article is based upon money. There is more to retirement than funds. We have a better medical setup in the US than Canada does.

Since the article wishes to get into funds, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) believes Canada spent approximately $228 billion on health care in 2016. That’s 11.1 per cent of Canada’s entire GDP and $6,299 for every Canadian resident. The US percentage is in 2018, 17.9 percent.

But these are numbers that don’t consistently configure the population. The US population is 321.2M against Canada’s 35.8M as of May of this year. So we have an additional 284M people than Canada and spend only 6.8% more than they do.

And none of this takes into consideration the amount of Canadians that come to the US for healthcare because they can’t get to their doctors and Detroit is the biggest supplier of healthcare to Canada’s people. And the amount of illegals that get healthcare in the US for free yearly is very close to the amount of their 6.8% alone. So, all in all, the healthcare in the US is more accessible, more bang for the buck, and more advanced.

There’s a reason people retire to sunny Florida and Arizona.

“Why would one want to retire in Arizona? How are the summers out there?”

Depends on what part of AZ you are referring to. The Flagstaff, Prescott, and Sierra Vista areas have four seasons and temperatures rarely exceed 100 degrees in the summer time.

Somebody beat me to it! My point always says that the entire nation of Canada is north of the following states Montana Michigan Maine New Hampshire Vermont Washington

My next point is that there’s more people in Southern California then there is in the entire nation of Canada

The only part of the nation of Canada with even mildly temperate weather weather in the winter is Vancouver and British Columbia

So if you like snow and ice and more snow and more ice and blizzards and some more ice and some more snow and -20 Canada is for you!
