There is a tremendous amount of unnecessary suffering in the world. Colombia Home and Health offers immediate, real life solutions.
The Problem:
Social Security: 40 % of the 70 million people on Social Security rely on that monthly check for all or substantially all of their income. With the 2024 increase, the average single person will get about $1,900 per month; a married couple will get close to $3,000. Millions live alone, in poverty with poor nutrition and even unable to buy their prescribed medications. It´s very difficult to live a quality life on this small amount of money but you can live BIG in Colombia.
The Solution:
Colombia Home and Health offers low cost 15 and 30 night get to know Colombia tours so you can see first hand how well you can live in Colombia on just your Social Security. And we have the full relocation team to help you make the move.
With the exchange rate between the dollar and the Colombia peso (COP) at around 3,900, your Social Security will be $7.4 to 11.7 million pesos. That's a lot of money in Colombia where the minimum wage is only about $1,400,000 or about $360 per month ! So a single person will be making five times the minimum wage.
This is one of the big reasons Colombia is the 12th lowest cost of living country in the world. So everything in Colombia is about 1/3rd the prices in the USA. Everything in Colombia is priced to meet the basic needs of its people...something like 90 % of Colombians make the minimum wage or slightly more. So things have to be cheap.
The best possible situation is to be earning your monthly income or pension in DOLLARS
and living in Colombia !
The Problem:
Chronic diseases and Obesity:
According to the CDC, chronic diseases account for about 80% of all healthcare expenditures in the US and yet are the most preventable of all diseases. Many are attributed to bad lifestyle choices like smoking, excessive alcohol and drugs, poor diet and lack of exercise. Others are ¨silent killers¨ as they show few, if any, symptoms until they are in an advanced stage when they are very difficult and expensive to treat and often lead to disability and early death.
Per the CDC:
- About 38 million people in the United States have diabetes, and 1 in 5 of them don’t know they have it...that´s over 7 million people that have diabetes and do not know it.
- About 98 million US adults—over a third—have prediabetes, and more than 8 in 10 of them don’t know they have it...that´s another 80 million or so that have pre diabetes and do not know it.
That's just diabetes...there are so many more chronic diseases.
About 40 % of US adults are obese. Obesity in children and teens is very high as well. Obesity is a chronic disease and a world wide health crisis... it´s not just people over eating.
The Solution:
The US healthcare system loves a pound of cure versus an ounce of prevention. Virtually all these ¨silent killers¨ would be detected with a comprehensive health check. Even just a complete blood count (CBC) with a urine and stool test would identify most chronic diseases.
Colombia Home and Health offers health checks at its internationally accredited hospitals. These are low cost depending how in depth you wish to go. A very comprehensive health check (6 to 8 hours) costs $800 to $1,000 in the US. The same check cost up to $5,000 or more in the US. Of course a blood, urine and stool test is less than $100 and only takes a few minutes.
Bariatric Surgery: For people who have tried everything, bariatric surgery offers an excellent, safe and low cost solution. The cost in the US is $15,000 to $30,000 depending on your situation and where you live. Insurance generally will cover bariatric surgery but it can take 2 to 3 years to get approval. People who are borderline may never get approval.
Colombia Home and Health offers an all-inclusive* 15 night bariatric surgery package from $5,900 to $6,950 depending on which city and surgeon you choose.
Mexico is a major destination for bariatric surgery outside the US. The prices are about $5,000 to $6,000. The package only includes 1 or 2 nights in a hotel before and after the surgery plus one night hospitalization the day of the surgery.
Our internationally accredited hospitals and surgeons require a minimum stay of 8 to 10 nights for arrival, pre op testing, the surgery, 1 night hospitalization and several days for recovery and post op exams before you are cleared to fly home. Our 15 night program allows plenty of time for the surgery and recovery and then you and a companion can enjoy several days of light sightseeing activities as a medical travel vacation.
The Problem:
Dental in the US is very expensive especially any kind of surgery, porcelain veneers, crowns and implants including ALL of FOUR or SIX implants which can cost easily $20,000 or more per bridge.
The Solution:
Colombia Home and Health has partnered with the no 1 dental clinic in Medellin and in Manizales to offer superior major dental at about 1/3rd the cost in the US.
