99 % of insurance companies will not pay claims if they blame existing conditions which they always do

Anything related to your heart will be a problem if you need a hospital or surgery

Put a decent amount of cash aside and pay your health bills yourself

At 67 any decent policy will start at 125,000 bhat a year .

Insurance salespeople are only there for commission

My health insurance (with pre existing conditions not included) cost me a little over 4k pm, I'm 64 and fully recovered from a stroke 9yrs ago, given that anything remotely connected (vascular, heart, even kidneys) is not included I'm seriously considering seeing the year out and going without, I'll put the premiums in MY own account and have a balance free credit card + my nest egg, many will no doubt say I'm crazy but I have not intention to going back to UK dead or alive.
