When we travel to Florida, we buy medical insurance in Canada which covers us while we travel.
Canadian snowbirds cost the USA nothing and add dollars to the economy.

As Canadians, we are limited to 182 days in a calendar year.
The USA government will not allow us to stay longer.
We would love to spend more time in the USA, but we are not allowed to.
There is no such thing as a "retiree visa".
If we outstay our welcome, there is a possibility that we will be denied
entry to the US for the next five years.
When we are in the USA, we are considered "resident aliens".
Not fair, but that is what America is becoming.
