There are a lot
of good options for healthcare outside of the USA. We pay as we go for minor
stuff and have a catastrophic policy for anything really bad. This can run about
US$1,500 per year with a $10,000 deductable. Healthcare outside of the USA is
very affordable and in many cases just as good or better than the USA. We have
had no issues finding English speaking doctors.
Learn to shop
outside of the USA for insurance coverage. There are reputable companies such
as Aetna (UK) among many others who offer polices for world-wide healthcare
insurance. They exclude the USA because to the idiotic system.
As with most
insurance, you need to be aware of scams. A quick Google search of Azimuth Risk
Solutions reveals they are scammers. Go with a recognized company and do your
homework – all will be okay.

That's one of my big worries when we start cruising next
year, medical coverage that's affordable. Rest of world policies seem to be the
only affordable options. I see the cigna geo explorer plans, is that what
people use?
