Living overseas entails risks! Here’s some handy information
“The problem with getting health insurance is that you never know what to get. Do I get a local plan or an international plan? What does my plan cover? What else should I think about adding into my policy? How can I keep the costs of my policy low?” In Part One of his two-part article, Jenkin Au of Global Health Insurance looks at health insurance – the benefits of an international plan over a local one, and what the typical plan can cover.
“Because insurance is defined as the equitable exchange of risk for a payment, the insurance companies are undertaking some risk in exchange for your payment.
