I agree totally! When I started with them they were a whole lot cheaper. That was back when I was younger and healthier and they hadn’t been taken over by another company. Now since I’m sick they have me trapped. I can’t afford to do without it, but I’m having trouble affording keeping it. I’d jump to another company, even if they weren’t as good, but nobody else will insure me.

@Durrant *******

Yeah! They’re expensive! They’re killing me too! But I’m older and I’ve got lot’s of problems. And no one else will insure me, so I’m stuck with them. But it really is good insurance!

I have a company called Passport. They’re out of Germany. I’m 67 years old and have everything wrong with me.

I’m currently paying $856 per month. But with that I get $2.5 million in coverage. They cover just about everything and I’ve never been denied. They’ll pay for both being in the hospital and out patient.

There’s no deductible. They give me a credit card to use to pay my medical bills. When I leave the hospital I get the bill. I then call Passport and have them top off the card for that amount. I then pay the bill. That’s the last I hear about it. I’ve never had a problem.

They’re accepted everywhere. I’ve used them at several hospitals in Pattaya and Bumrungrad Hospital up in Bangkok.

I live in Bang Saray and have only used my monthly pension to get a visa for the last 9 years. This year I was in Bangkok and decided to renew it up there. The lady in charge insisted that I needed to have both the monthly income and a bank account. I had to go back to Bang Saray to have it done in Jomtien with no trouble. But because of the idiot in Bangkok, I was late and had to pay a fine.

! Try the decaf! It’s good! I promise!

I know that I may be a little biased already living here and all, but I’d be stoked to be sent off to Thailand! He has a skill, he knows the language, he can liquidate all his credit. What’s not to like? Plus he’ll probably have a hot girlfriend by next week!

You ever been to New York? Every other person is like that. They’ll usually go away after a few minutes.

I don’t think you can get a passport for a foreign national.
