[quote=”maravilla”][quote=”rpierc01″] They could only be here to gather up bananas for the monkey they call commander-in-chief[/quote]
better yet, maybe they are here to get rid of all the blatant racists! i suppose you are one of those Birthers??
BIRTHER? What is a “BIRTHER?”
Scott: This is a show of force by the U.S. The Rulers have decided that this area has gotten too independent for its own good, and have come to calm the children down. I just hope the Rulers don’t decide to discipline them, and I very truely doubt that the politicos in C.R. had much of a choice in the matter – but that is just my opinion only. By the way, if a vessel carries cruse missles, it can, and probably does, cary nuclear weapons.
This to David and John: Thank you both for you help and advice. I’ve retired [my wife has not] and I wish to get absolutely correct information before I move to Costa Rica, as a full time permanent resident. I’m taking Spanish lessons now so that I may be more compatable with the Tico and Tica’s. Again, thanks.
[quote=”DavidCMurray”]INS will cover some pre-existing conditions but they typically surcharge heavily. Other pre-existing conditions are excluded.
Medicare and Medicaid will not pay for any services rendered outside the U.S….Lately, I’ve heard that the CAJA will accept non-residents for enrollment. This would be something to check out. I think ARCR could help.[/quote]
Do you know how to find out what “pre-existing conditions are covered? (COPD?)
Medicare/Mediaid is not for the patient, its for the Medicos = to make certain they get paid.When/If you find out if CAJA accepts non-residents please post or PM me. Thanks.
Okay, now for the I’m ignorant part: what does ARCR stand for?
[quote=”costaricafinca”]Most of the medication supplied by CAJA are generic versions and many don’t just [i]’cut it'[/i].[/quote]
Are the generic versions the same as in th US. If so some are good and some are not. My experience has been that some of the buffering agents in the Name Brand drugs are left out in the generics and the actual “medicine” is the same. Just kind of “rough” when taken.
For all those persons that think that these “squatter’s rights” are a strictly Costa Rican thing, you would be wrong. Here in Texas the same rules apply and, at least in East Texas, is an active ongoing practice among some of the more unscrupulous natives. In any event, es la ley, and always has been. Robb
