Expats in Mexico Survey - Please Participate

November 06, 2009



For more information about the survey, visit icfdn.org.
Americans for Medicare in Mexico, A.C. (AMMAC) is working to get the U.S. Congress to authorize a Medicare Demonstration Project (pilot project) to benefit eligible seniors in Mexico. Part of the effort involves gathering more detailed demographic information about Americans living in Mexico. We believe that reliable demographic data about the US expat population in Mexico will help us make a powerful argument in favor of the Medicare legislative proposal.

To that end, AMMAC is assisting The International Community Fund in a survey of American expats. Please take a few minutes to fill out this important survey. And please encourage your friends to fill out the survey, too!

The International Community Foundation, a California-based organization that gave more than 5 million dollars to Mexican and other Latin American non-profits last year, wants to know more about the American retirement communities, particularly in the Mexican coastal cities on the Baja California peninsula, in Sonora, and along the Riviera Nayarit, Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Maya.

What do you think about the cost of living, health care, public safety, and environmental sustainability? How important to you is civic engagement in your adopted Mexican community?


Americans for Medicare in Mexico is working to get the U.S. Congress to authorize a Medicare Demonstration Project to benefit eligible seniors in Mexico. To learn more about Americans for Medicare in Mexico, A.C., please visit MedicareInMexico.org.
The International Community Foundation will incorporate your input into a series of white papers, designed to offer recommendations to decision-makers on both sides of the border, as well as inform other stakeholders in Mexican coastal communities about what U.S. consumers are looking for in their adopted retirement communities. The survey will only take you about 10 minutes to fill out, but the results could make a difference for a long time to come.

The International Community Foundation is a public nonprofit organization that seeks to increase charitable giving and volunteerism across U.S. borders to benefit overseas communities and nonprofit charitable organizations, with an emphasis in Mexico and Central America. With assets of more than $12 million, ICF made more than $5 million in grants last year to nonprofit organizations internationally with 75% of its giving benefiting nonprofit organizations based in Mexico. For more information on ICF, visit icfdn.org.

Thanks for your help in this vital campaign for U.S. retirees living in Mexico!
