The couple is still working out the details, but they plan to go into Canada as "seasonal visitors” and hold onto their U.S. citizenship for Medicare and Social Security purposes.

No need to keep their citizenship (or even to ever have been a citizen) to keep Social Security. The Government will send the check anywhere in the world you want. If you paid into it, it's your's. Citizenship is not and never has been a requirement.

As for Medicare, why would they want to keep that where you still have to pay for it while Canada has that wonderful 'government-pays-all' socialized medicine that won't cost them a single Loonie? Maybe for their "Golden Years" when he needs a by-pass or she needs hip replacement, they can hop a flight to Seattle and be treated the next day rather than waiting a year or two like they do in that wonderful non-materialistic Canada.

Freak'in idiots.

They are not eligible to be part of the Canadian "healthcare" system. Visitors pay cash.

Here you go, Democrats: The Philippines are affordable, most everyone speaks English, rent, food, transportation, utilities and help (maids/nurses/gardeners, etc..) are dirt cheap, and there's even a VA hospital in Manila (though I doubt many veterans are among those "fleeing" "Bushworld")
