I'm wondering if anyone here is familiar with these plans that cover only things like emergency hospitalization in the event of accidents - i.e. acute care only, up to a pretty low dollar limit (I've seen as low as 100K, which as we all know doesn't go all that far these days). The reason I ask is we spend a great deal of time in places like Mexico and Thailand and would prefer to pay for anything chronic, including major stuff, out-of-pocket there and minimize our costs in and exposure to the U.S. health care system.
We've had high-deductible HSA plans in the past but since we never come close to meeting the deductible it's throwing money away and though we are in good health the premiums are so high we have nothing left over for actual preventive health care.
Any experiences much appreciated.
