Thx. You posted in a somewhat similar thread that I started last year about retiring in France:
http://www.early-retirement.org/foru...ope-56992.html
The information in this thread was fantastic and much appreciated. However, things have changed a little for me since then and I don't see myself in the short-medium term being able to actually fully retire in Europe. This has to do with kids in college and other family/biz considerations.
However, I can definitely see living 3-6 months out of the year overseas in Europe and that's why I need an insurer that is flexible, reasonable to work with and not exhorbitant in costs for someone self-employed.
Hopefully someone else out there has been in this situation?
