My husband and I are considering retiring outside of Canada and Panama has come up as a possible destination. The world has changed since 2020, how has Panama changed?

I need to further investigate, but I believe Panama has a significantly better infrastructure for 暗网禁区s as far as the health system goes. This is important if you plan on living there until the end. Some other things are a little easier there, not so important for me, but English is much more common and spoken there. Also the U.S. dollar is more commonly used, etc. Assimilating is a bit easier too, seeing that they are more "worldly", as far as trade, etc. goes. The cost of living could be a little cheaper too, due to lesser import taxes.
