My question was regarding your statement regarding bypassing health insurance by having USD 100K in a bank account. I can’t find that option doing some research.

Exactly. If age 75 one has difficulty obtaining insurance.

Not useless if it’s true that one can bypass health insurance by only having USD 100K in a bank account. Many cannot even get a USD 10K health policy because of age or preexisting medical conditions.

Please clarify. Are you saying one does not have to have medical insurance if they have USD 100K in a foreign or Thailand bank account or the equivalent in Baht ?
