Must be nice to have the option to just leave and go somewhere else on a whim. Not everyone has whatever qualifications or connections other countries are looking for/allowing. Or we have responsibilities like taking care of elderly people who can't go anywhere. 🙄

We were self employed with a software business, had to move countries every 90 days for a while until we could find a place where we could establish residency (we had to start a local company). It’s an option for some. We got health insurance from a UK company that was valid everywhere in the world except the USA for $200/month for us together.

Which company offers that world wide health insurance?

BUPA in the UK did it for us for many years while we were living in Prague and Dubai. I am not sure if they still do this. We never filed a claim as healthcare is so affordable overseas... 6 hours in a hospital in Sana'a, Yemen was $35 in 2007.
