As many as a million retired foreigners, most of them from the United States, are expected to move to Mexico during the next decade. Since they will be bringing money with them and employing people rather than taking away jobs, the government intends to welcome them warmly. For starters, the Health Ministry is urging nurses to learn English. Medical tourism is seen as another important source of dollars. Physicians and surgeons are likely to be fluent in English. Many have completed post-graduate studies abroad. Medical care in Mexico, while not cheap, costs considerably less than in the United States.
