Nice story in Forbes about senior citizens, health care, and offshore living. Two Indian companies, Apollo Healthcare and Impact Senior Living have built (and continue to build more) senior living communities that include “health care backup” for approximately $85K one-time and a $250 per month cost.  (Although I don’t quite understand what they mean by “full healthcare backup”! I assume it means “health care” is included somewhere in the $85K cost.)
 
These senior living communities come equipped with all the amenities you can imagine, including pools, game rooms, exercise facilities, and much, much more.

For immigrant Indians in the US, even after living in the US for three or four decades, there is still a burning desire to ”go home” to India at some point in their life. 

Well, with these senior living communities that appear to be more like resorts, if I were of retirement age (alas! no such luck), I think I would be very tempted to move back “home” immediately.
 
Also, why would this be limited to Indians? I think that non Indians may be tempted to move to India to take advantage of these senior living opportunities. 

I’m not getting paid by Apollo or Impact Senior Living or any of the companies that are building these senior living facilities in India.  But I think I should be! After all, I forwarded this link to enough friends in the US that at least one or two of them will become customers for these companies.

(Hmmm….I wonder if the health care crisis in the US can be solved by moving people to offshore, low cost countries?)
