You can always buy care from Kaiser like I do. They always have doctors and at least take medicare some. I don't know the details though. You will have to budget to fly/stay either in Oahu or the mainland for anything major though. The more I think about it, the more glad I came here as a relatively young person- and the more I realize that elderly people here have a very difficult time of it. Are you bringing kids with you? IF you are, then they'll be around (hopefully) to care for you, but otherwise you will be "on your own" a lot. It's pretty inconvenient here.
