I鈥檓 married to a Colombiana and moving to the greater Medellin area.聽 No preexisting conditions聽 Also, will keep my Medicare and VA healthcare.

Looking for a high deductible policy.

If a long term health issue arises, It鈥檚 a three hour flight away to our place in Florida so I鈥檓 only looking for catastrophic coverage.

@Bbaxter - Can you not piggyback onto your Colombian wife's health plan? Such as the bankrupt EPS-SURA mess that it's in. It sounds like your searching for a high deductible health insurance policy only to fulfill the visa requirements, I would think that a stand alone policy given your age would be costly.

For healthcare IN USA we have high deductible supplemental policies from Mutual of Omaha for $48 a month.聽 The deductible is under $3,000, so quite manageable.

That said, if you have a massive stroke, or major trauma you still have to worry about how to get to Florida.聽 If you have 鈥淓xpat Health Insurance鈥� I believe most of them have a repatriation component.聽 Otherwise it will be a pricey out of pocket medical flight.聽 An annual medical evacuation plan might be a worthwhile investment
