Hello all, as mentioned in this ER thread: http://www.rooshvforum.network/thread-43308.html
I don't want to double post so will provide more insurance related info here. This was listed on the CDC website:
http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2...-insurance
FINDING AN INSURANCE PROVIDER
The following resources, although not all-inclusive, provide information about purchasing travel health and medical evacuation insurance:
Department of State (http://www.travel.state.gov External Web Site Icon)
International SOS (http://www.internationalsos.com External Web Site Icon)
MEDEX (http://www.medexassist.com External Web Site Icon)
International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers (http://www.iamat.org External Web Site Icon)
American Association of Retired Persons (http://www.aarp.org External Web Site Icon) (for information about Medicare supplement plans, see below)
Also for those of us in US, for long term insurance, I found these 3 options. Not quite sure how Obamacare will play into all this so will update as I find out more. As I want to live abroad long term, this is especially important for me as what good is earning/saving thousands of dollars only to have it all get F-'d up by one medical emergency? Better to have a contingency plan to protect yourself:
