"SUS isn't good" said the Brazilian who never had experience with health care in other countries. My father had cancer, it was very bad and we had the best treatment ever and I say "we" because they offered psychological support from the hospital to the family. His situation it was very critical, his oncologist would stop by his bed time to time just to chat with my dad and make him laugh. It's impossible to put into words how grateful I am to that doctor. The system is great, some doctors can be shitty but not the system. I live in The Netherlands now and here we do not even the option of private doctors and the system I'm facing...

[@rebeccahitchcock]

I hope you don’t think I’m putting SUS down, because I’m not, compared to Ireland a supposedly “1st world country” our health care system is so SO terrible you have no idea. I received the best healthcare in Brazil

I’m from California, worked as a CT tech in a Regional Trauma Center. Me and my wife are in our late 50s. Living in São Paulo. We pay for private Healthcare through Prevent Senior for 1/3 the cost we would pay for an HMO in California, but you don’t get three times better care in the US. I’m impressed with the delivery of care through Prevent Senior. I’m impressed with the facilities. I’m in love with the doctors. Far more empathetic than counterparts in the US. Wait times for routine exams can take 1 or 2 months, but if you plan ahead it’s no big deal. Now I can’t speak for the rest of the country.

I agree with you. I see many opinions generalizing Brazil. talking about education, which is bad, and the SUS. I'm living proof that public education depends on the place and the city, it doesn't lose to private school, another thing, I get everything through SUS, exams, appointments, medicine and even a dentist.

My wife is Brazilian and I’m American, we have a 10 year old daughter and we have been talking about moving to Brazil, it would be great to hear the pros and cons of living in Brazil as a foreigner and the process you had to go through to get your residence status. Thank you for the videos 👍🇧🇷

[@frmancini]

I do not know a lot about the residence status, but would love to share a little bit of the Pros and Cons from a brazilian who lived in São Paulo, Brasil, and in Las Vegas and New York in the USA (and have friends living in Miami, LA, etc.) Pros: - Opportunities to make money (1) if you are a skilled worker, because we lack skilled workers (less jobs than tha US but waaaay less competition; or (2) if you are an entrepreneur, because of the huge market, less crowded copetition than the US (but here you have to understand how things work, specially relating to bureaucracy). - Food - Weather - Friendly people, easy to make new friends - Opportunity to know a new culture (very rich and diverse) - Lower cost of living (specially if you have some income in USD) - Cool lifestyle - Better health care (both public and private) Cons: - More crime if you are in a big city (but definitely not as bad as media and internet portraits) - Worse infrastructure (compared to the US, but in the big cities it is relatively good) - Worse public education This is my view and it is biased around big cities. If you live in smaller cities, both in the US and in Brazil, the experience is totally different.

Hi Rebecca, nice video, and a nice channel you have! I’m Norwegian and moved to Brazil about 18 years ago. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I would like to comment about one thing you said that I don’t really agree on. Moving to Brazil to make serious money is absolutely possible. In fact there are so many possibilities to make serious money in Brazil if you can handle the bureaucracy and make the effort to learn some Portuguese. Also, you need to have some knowledge of business or real estate and a starting capital to invest of course. However, most people, with some cash in hand and some patience to do some research can make a lot of money in Brazil. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck on your channel and of course on your adventures in Brazil!

Brazil, like the US, is huge, many cultures within one country. Living in the Northeast, South and/or Southeast for example can be completely different. I recommend the city of João Pessoa - PB, which is a capital, to try to see if the person will get used to the customs, environment and day-to-day life in Brazil.

Schools I do private online and pay $9000 per year for 3 kids because the public are too noisy and rough I heard, so they do activities outside school which is amazing…Brasil is very organized with great health care!!

[@jayf.1312]

Brazil is an amazing place to live, whether a family has children or not. There are, for example, thousands of missionaries from the U.S. who came to Brazil, where they lived in neighborhoods not rich, middle class or even lower social class and I have NEVER heard a report of these missionaries (from U.S.) complaining about something bad that has happened to their children. What can be seen is that many of these children of missionaries, when adults, want to return to Brazil and not lose the connection. On the other hand, it doesn't make sense to "complain" about the sea air in coastal cities in Brazil, as this depends on EACH type of beach, the local climate and care with belongings. It is possible for someone has an apartment/house on the North or South Coast of São Paulo State and they have NEVER had problems with "mold", "rust" or "humidity". This depends only on the care someone has with furniture and objects. In new york, for example, a persistent infestation of bed bugs is known, which drives away many tourists who come into contact with the local pest when traveling there (new york). In addition to places in that city (new york) that you cannot go at certain times of the day and night. It's been a few years now that I've been following news from newspapers, cases that are on TV and North american blogs about violence in the U.S. where there are brutal and violent crimes that happen in small towns as well as in bigger cities in that country (U.S.). It's just that people of so-called "developed" countries economically PREFER to stereotype and label OTHER countries, not the U.S., where (U.S.), let's face it, drug use is the rule, not the exception (what kind of example did these former presidents of the U.S. set the youth there?). In fact, some U.S. presidents admitted that they used drugs in their youth in media interviews and autobiography (I have NEVER knew a president of any Latin American country say something absurd like that!!!). In addition, I've seen here on this digital platform foreign vloggers (tourists) who visit Brazil and praise the Brazilian health system (free and universal, paid for by taxes) when they need hospital care or medication!!! Unfortunately, there are still Brazilians and foreigners who label and stereotype Brazil and some other Latin American countries for one or another bad experience they had, forgetting how rich the country (Brazil) is in LANDSCAPES, MUSIC, CULTURE, FOLKLORE, FOOD , GOOD CITIES, HUMAN RECEPTION, EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, and support from SOCIAL SERVICES, among many other things and positive points - the reality of the world and the horizon of hope has already SHOWED that there are incredible and better countries, really better, than the U.S.!!! There, U.S., as in any other country around the world, there are positive and negative aspects of everyday life...!!! Everyone makes their dream of your own place.

In 2007 we moved to Brazil. Me, a Brazilian, and my wife and children US citizens. In the beginning, the first year, all was great, all was beautiful. We lived a an upscale beach semi-private place called Riviera de São Lourenço, near Bertioga. As we moved there during the winter all was fine. Then came summer, when the place went from zero to one hundred. Traffic, crowds, and children driving around the place in their daddy`s Mercedes, because I found out the rich in Brazil believe they have more rights than the law dictates. In addition, I found out my teenagers were skipping our house after we went to bed to attend the many beach parties and gatherings with other teenagers, where boose and some drugs were plenty. That and the furious rust that attacked our belongings, as well as mold attacking our clothes, made me decide to move to Serra Negra, a small city up in the hills of São Paulo state. After one and a half years in the small town, fed up with the way people behaved, with the Brazilian bureaucracy that made everything difficult, with how hard it was to protect our children from eventual stuff, we just packed up and moved back to the US.

Brazil has dozens of great options to foreigners to live here.

From personal experience: Moving to a new country is difficult. But it can be a good thing to do when you're at a good place and time in your life, you're open to new experiences and adventures. That's why most people move when they're young and free of baggage; not sure how it will be for someone with the added stresses of having small children with learning disabilities. Knowing the language and customs before moving will make it easier to adjust. Otherwise, the culture shock will be too much. And that's why so many don't make it. Be realistic. It may not be much of difficulty if your husband is well off. Or you will risk becoming disgruntled. It'd be good to hear you speak Portuguese. By now you and your children, should be fluent. Good luck!

[@rebeccahitchcock]

Yes if my children had learning difficulties I don’t think we would have moved, we are fortunate to not have that obstacle. No I’m not fluent after 4 months, but I have a good grasp of the language. I don’t think there’s a deadline by which someone should be fluent. Things that may be a challenge for you may not be for another. So far we are not going anywhere 😊

Fortunately in my town (in the countryside of Minas Gerais it is good), my mother has diabetes then she has all de medicine, insuline, glucometer, the needle, from SUS, her diabetes is under control thanks the SUS program . The public dentist it woks pretty well in my town as well.

[@rebeccahitchcock]

I will never put down SUS because when I developed a heart arrhythmia and my son super Ill we received treatment straight away.:. And as an Irish person that’s unheard of in Ireland

[@andreiaoliveira2722]

I'm from Belo Horizonte. I agree with you !

[@tubbyrainbow111]

Hey, I am diabetic. She can fix it if it's type 2 with carnivor diet. She needs to stop eating carbohydrates and sugars and slowly she will not need insulin.

Thousands of Europeans have moved to southern Brazil in recent years, kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKCZdoCJfdqJhrMsi=ROme-TlCc9JMkwMP generally to Santa Catarina. There are places in Brazil that are safer than Paris, Rome, Berlin, etc.

Brazil has the best HIV treatment in the world, as well as one of the best heart and heart transplant treatments, as well as exemplary cancer treatment. And all free.

[@ordoAnOnYmOuS]

does anyone know if being married to a brazilian allows me to do the resicence process in brazil without having to come back to the uk? or if I must do it before traveling to brazil?

[@BillyGringo]

You don’t need to go back if you are married but it’s sometimes a lot easier in your country (Uk) than in Brazil. The bureaucracy in Brazil can take forever. You can get Brazilian citizenship if you live in the country for, at least, 4 years under residence authorization for an indefinite term (permanent residency). But if you are married to a Brazilian citizen or have Brazilian offspring, then the 4 years fall for 1 year living in the country with permanent residency. Also, if you are from a Portuguese-speaking country, the time might fall to 1 year too.

Even though you have to live like in a prison (high walls with barber wire), your family will probably have a better life in Brazil. Europe’s economy will die as consequence of the war between US and China/Russia. Best wishes.

I'm thinking of moving furniture to Brazil from the United States in Southern California area I'm mostly do it for my retirement so I like to know about the banking system in Brazil so I can gain access to my retirement income from the United States I know that Citibank here in the US has international banking in Panama I was also wondering if there's a Citibank in Brazil so I could transfer my retirement income to. Also I like to know is there a mailing system can Brazil in case I need mail sent from United States to me and Brazil can I receive mail and what documents do I need put in for a 6 month or longer to live in Brazil please make videos on these subjects have be most please

[@rebeccahitchcock]

Unless you are married or have a significant business/large bank acc it’s very hard to get a visa to Brazil. When we were moving to Brazil we learned very quickly that moving a lot to furniture… IE a shipping container is wayyyyyy more expensive than selling your stuff and rebuying in Brazil.

[@InBrz]

HEY, BRASIL has many high quality factories that build all kinds of furniture, mostly in the south. ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to bring your old stuff, you are starting a new life, buy NEW stuff here for less than it cost in the US,,,, BAD IDEA. AS for money transferring, just have deposits made into your US account and WISE it to your bank in Brasil. Using an ATM, you will lose a lot of money with the exchange rate and fees. VERY FEW Citibank offices here, have only seen them in Sao Paulo, not convenient if you live elsewhere. You will use your BR bank debit card for everything

[@BillyGringo]

Citibank in Brazil is NOT connected to CitiBank in the US. It will get you any advantages. Just western Union yourself money or get a Wise card. Plus, shipping your things will be a nightmare, things just don’t work so easy in Brazil

[@andyr8812]

Well, being a Norwegian that was born in Brazil and partially raised in Brazil and in Norway, I went to work in Rio in 2013, but left in 2015. Brazil has become a dangerous country to live in, and is terribly bureaucratic with very high import taxes that seriously affect businesses. Furniture, home electrical appliances, some electronic products and vehicles are all made in Brazil and are of very low quality. With the current communist regime in Brazil, the situation there has got much worse, especially when it comes to censorship and freedom of speech. Although I also have the Brazilian citizenship, I have no plans to return to Brazil, not even for a visit, and definitely not under the communist regime there. Norway is a cold country, but it is much safer to be here.

I'm scared to hear you say that the healthcare system in Ireland is not good. Ireland is a developed country.

Would you be surprised if I told you that it sucks in the US also? It’s ridiculously expensive, very mediocre care, it’s all just a business transaction, and unless you can have a great Cadillac plan the hospitals aren’t great either…
