all city and uh... we always i will veto wilson traveled from their over to the
uh... burmese border ended and visited the refugee camps for the karen refugees
the indigenous political utter of the people in so long border out in that
direction owners are taking a trip
order number of times on my motorcycle it's a it's a beautiful it's a beautiful
beautiful trip
yeah um... dinner at seven days i was uh...
dealing with the burmese government para and always had to have a uh... a
state-sponsored uh... minder with united only go-between
uh... rangoon and not too late but i always had to have a
was out of my underwear three well but they are now that you have a a
repository interesting stories that i recall our
that's not what i call about uh...
do you know i i can honestly i can understand through it to a certain
degree you know where adjustments need to be made it neither medic
medicare accounts paid up but what i really don't understand
parents spend denver's two points i'd like to make your um... leave
avenue obama has i'd believe openly stated that he does not feel that
medicare payments should be made
too many facilities outside of the united states of america
okay i'm not
i haven't heard that specifically but i'll take your word for it
ek welker or you
medicare
payments i don't believe can be made however if you are a member of the uh...
veterans uh... administration the u_s_ government of there is a what is
literally expired star hotel hospital in bangkok about animal boom-boom gripe
but if you are
as maya as one of my friend susan lived in were kept in china
uh... it'll he was flown or you can fly to boom boom ground and the u_s_
government
um... medicare it is veteran services agreement would pay for to brisbane
fantastic facility right and i understand that this this with it
actually factored into that may be wrong on this id third-party information and i
have an answer directly but i understand it is
factored into jesse ventura decision moved to mexico as a former navy seal
that uh... he court quite likely cavalierly insurance and you know if
you're french or or ideal france for sure i don't know about the other
countries of europe but if you're french you're injured outside the country
they will pay for your health care
and his bed i'm sure that support really does write a check not
i'm not certain uh... with other countries are no i don't think
australia's out where i'm not sure about the u_k_
but iranian chiang mai this is a world-class
medical facility or medical uh... destination for all of asia in fact
i_b_m_ has committed
some fifty million dollars which
in this country is more like five hundred or half a billion dollars uh...
bases should cost of living and what you get to your money
uh... to creating aid a better infrastructure for medical services in
this country claim many many many of the of the
uh... of the doctors and specialists in this country or are trained in the
united states board certified in the united states have all those
all the medical training one could possibly need
uh... beate did
shipped from internal medicine to demonstrate to
on virtually all
any medical service you might desire and is available here is available right now
uh... roughly twenty five percent of what it would cost in the united states
for topic
notch services and believe me i'm sixty years old
uh... i've taken advantage of them
i wish that
at some point to a medicare services stereo and reform sixty are not at
sixty-five obviously but i also would hope
that they would be available to meet because medicare would be able to save
icon of money
if payments could be made to this country right if you had to go back as a
racist into the medicare your cost of medical services would go up
seventy five percent or actually got three absolutely
absolutely ilike to go and i i i can go in for real canal anna democrat on our
tutor for four hundred dollars
although it cost me a ten thousand dollars easily plots in the united
states which are provided in sap cisco eduard originally had um...
uh... hernia surgery
quite an experience of a private room overnight
very inexpensive wrote to the united states marketwatch point made mark
uh... band and he had it should be issued a consideration should be part of
it and and and like the french we should say in american citizen
you're covered now he hears the flip side though do u when you earn money in
thailand do you pay into you don't pay into medicare d
by it
and quite honestly i live on hired learning very small amount of money for
my u_s_ clients i do
autocad technical work
but of thousand dollars a month anew very very suitably
so we're going to be a twelve thousand dollars a year
and that's certainly not enough for the government to be concerned about me
yaaaa relation is impunity expat saturn you know how the french deal with this
should people who spent much of their according to their lives as expat
uh... be eligible for the national health service if they didn't pay into
it
add there are know there are certain qualifications are not certain about the
french todo
i have that much but good to you and our french expect and reduced
not their larger
uh... mostly brits australians but a m dot sc booked
i know that in many respects uh... third big pension funds that are available to
you
the english or the repair of the uh...
ostriches substantially reduced if they do not spend except period of time back
in the home country that does make a certain amount a lot of sense
just a quick question mark before you go uh... what is the hai
health care system
like in regards to providing health care for everyone in thailand do they have a
universal health care everyone in thailand
one of the uh... one of the lead notable
changes that former partner carpet
without oxygen who was later corrupts convicted of corruption charges about
his business sister now if they can control and that part is they can call
controlled comfort
and one of the major things we need it wasn't a student national gift
healthcare program that any citizen could go into a government hospital and
get services form dollar purpose
while and that earned him andrew and i recall the hatred of the uh... the very
wealthy class in thailand there there there are
a conspiracy theorists correct me if i'm wrong who suggested maybe than a
conspiracy theorists we suggest that the reason toxin got prosecuted around the
country was because he had basically done a shot as he had he had turned the
economy the country from are blamed for the rich applied for the working people
uh... that oversimplification issued how well it means there's a lot of
controversy about that either

that the prosecution oversight of that and and there are no it running data

it it's been one has been done for decades yeah uh... selected strain a
continuance
