Hi, Thank you for your reply concerning health insurance. I didn’t make myself clear enough. We are planning to retire to Ecuador – Manta or Salinas if our first trip turns out the way we think it will. I am 70 with some minor health issues, my wife is 68 with none. What health insurance options do I have at 71 ( by the time we get everything tidied up in Canada and move)? My wife will be 69-70 by then. Also having difficulty renting a car for a few days ( Manta as the car pickup point). Tried online but nothing available. Any local contacts for me to try in Manta? Alexandria & Ted Jackson
