FAR OUT #125 ~ What We Do Instead of Health Insurance

Episode Description

Since coming back to the US, we're often asked what we do for health insurance. The short answer is we don't. We explore some of the common issues with health insurance that arise for those who are self-employed, traveling internationally or seeking alternatives outside the traditional western medical system and what we've done to solve those challenges for ourselves.

Listen and explore:

• What originally led Alasdair to seek alternatives to health insurance

• Alasdair’s recent, glowing health care experience from the desert in New Mexico

• Don’t be afraid to fire your doctor

• The four elements of Alasdair’s health care strategy

• An affordable option to traditional health insurance plans

• The value of tela-medicine for full-time travelers

• A free way to save money on prescriptions (whether you have insurance or not)

• Covering major downside while maximizing your freedom to choose who you work with

• Julie-Roxane’s experience of French health care and how it compares to the U.S.

• The only company we use these days for international travel insurance
