ORIGINAL POSTER

Not visa related so delete if inappropriate. Can anyone recommend travel health insurance for a 70 year old American visiting America but a residence of Thailand ? Of course I have Medicare part A free but that’s all . I’m only finding $100,000 coverage for 45 days around $600 . $100,000 is not enough for the United States hospitals for something major 

Thank you
