Reply #32: Michael Moore touched on this in Sicko. And several "foreign" DUers have mentioned this in their

[Kerrytravelers]

posts. As I don't live abroad, I don't have intimate knowledge of the proceedures involved in buying short-term health insurance for traveling to and throughout America from other countries. However, Mr. kt and I may be living abroad within the next year or two, and we've been advised to look into traveler's insurance when we return to visit our parents in the states. However, being that we haven't left yet, I haven't looked into all the details.

What makes this "assertion" so interesting? It seems rather boring to me. And pretty "common sense" to me since Americans purchase car insurance when driving into Mexico, as we have on a number of occassions. (And, before you ask, Mr. kt grew up in San Diego, so he always takes care of that when we travel south. I'm originally from San Francisco, and know little to nothing about purchasing car insurance for driving in Mexico.)



Edited to add: If you need to direct information regarding purchasing health insurance for a trip to the United States, I can contact some DUers and let them know you're curious about the process.


And... you can look upthread! :)
