Health Insurance …

I remember reading on this board when I first discovered this board that there were no Health Insurance companies that would not start a policy if you were older than 65. I did read sometime after on this board, that someone had found a provider for people over 65. I just saw a video, and the narrator said it’s important to purchase Health Insurance before you turn 60 as when you are over 60, it’s difficult to get Health Insurance. Can someone in the know, please let me know what the real age for Health Insurance in the DR, that’s important to purchase before, is it 60, or is it before 65 years old ? Thanks :)

Don't wait until the last minute to get insurance. My wife, a Dominican citizen, and I retired and bought a home several months ago in Punta Cana. As I have very good insurance back in the U.S. I went looking for a catastrophic short term insurance policy should I suffer from coconut head trauma. Last month my wife and I applied for health insurance and I was denied out of hand because my 65th birthday was less than a month away. I'm in very good shape for my age but the representative told me they can deny you health insurance for up to year before your 65th birthday without cause.
