How can elderly expats in Thailand safeguard against health-related visa issues as they age?

@Linz ***********

I think you are right, all I'm saying is that if I fall ill in Thailand, having paid NI until I was 65 and paying UK tax on my income it could be an option. As it stands I have to return for treatment, whereas our NHS would save money if I am treated here.
