Getting insurance isn't a problem. Most will exclude prior conditions. You can buy most BP meds over the counter here. DM me if you want the name of an insurance agent.

@Joe *****

His passport expires next November and his visa extension expires in January. No expired passport.

I believe they will make you move the old visa (extension?) to your new passport before they will extend the visa into your new passport. I had to do this earlier this year. You would think you could just put the new extension into the new passport but you would be wrong...TiT.

Thank you everyone for the replies.

As is typical, confusion reigns.

This was the reason for the confusion -

Thank you.

@Bra****

, thanks for the info. There is some confusion. I'll post the article in a reply.

I have in-patient only cover for me and my family. I'm 70 and have had it for the last couple years. We pay out of pocket for all out-patient services. I'm counting on the insurance only for worst case scenarios. The cost is the best value I could find at the time. Not the cheapest but OK. PM me for the name of my agent. I don't want to advertise for him here.

You said you mailed them. What response did you get when you called them or direct chat?
