I'm always curious how people that have no personal tax residence deal with health care insurance?
At least in Europe, many private health insurance plans for travelers have the prerequisite of being covered by the countries social security first.
- pieterhg 10y agoYou're very right. This is one of the main challenges for people to move away. There's expat insurance though (usually in the same country as where you're from) and usually the fees are way lower since you're now in a pool of higher educated wealthy expats instead of the overall population. You can also usually move back, become a resident again and get covered again.
- matt4077 10y agoI believe expats insurance (at least the one I had) is significantly cheaper because they only cover acute conditions + transport back home – meaning they won't be paying for the really expensive cancer/diabetes/alzheimers/etc.-treatments.
