ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A 66-year-old American looking to live permanently in Thailand seeks advice on health insurance. Key points include the importance of purchasing insurance early, particularly as one ages, due to rising costs and potential exclusions for pre-existing conditions. Recommendations highlight contacting insurance broker Robert Jackson or companies like Pacific Cross. Some expats suggest using government hospitals for lower costs and mention the insurance requirements for various visa types, such as the OA and O visas, with preference for the O visa to avoid stringent insurance requirements.
