I am a dual US|EU (Croatian) citizen, who naturalized (by descent, via my 4 Croatian great-grandparents, even though I only needed 1) as Croatian over the US healthcare system. Because I am an European Union citizen, I can live/work/retire in the EU and EFTA countries (minus Lichtenstein--has an immigration quota), due to Freedom of Movement rights. I have 2 rare immune-mediated neurological diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system, plus type 1 diabetes (autoimmune and insulin-dependent). Anyways, even though the neurological diseases are in pharmaceutical remission, I require a lot of unusual and expensive treatments to stay alive. I am an electrical engineering graduate student, who has studied healthcare systems and delivery, and I understand the logistics and the bureaucracy involved. I am also an expert on processes involving acquiring citizenship. Feel free to shoot me an email, if you want (see my profile).

Ironically, the best resource for navigating the various intricacies of various countries' health systems, globally, with respect to living a long life, is the IMHE group. You know, the group that was famous for the coronavirus projections at the beginning of the pandemic in the USA. All of their peer-reviewed publications are open access, too.

This is probably the most important research article to consult and study (although there are several others): Forecasting life expectancy, years of life lost, and all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 250 causes of death: reference and alternative scenarios for 2016–40 for 195 countries and territories using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016: http://www.healthdata.org/research-article/forecasting-life-...

This is an easy, but startling read: How healthy will we be in 2040?: http://www.healthdata.org/news-release/how-healthy-will-we-b...

Anyways, feel free to shoot me an email, if you want advice on this sort of stuff. I will be glad to help. I have studied this for hundreds of hours.



I am off to do some reading.

Hvala
