Insurance impossible

I agree with David Sheechan, that compulsory health insurance should be a must for foreigners living in Thailand. Certainly as long they don’t have the same opportunities as Thai nationals. Sadly this is not the case. Foreigners are excluded from health benefits Thai nationals can rely on. So this is never an option for foreigners. Getting reliable health insurance with a Thai company is near impossible if one reaches the age of 70 years or more, considering the rigorous rules about one’s health history, those Thai companies use. In many cases this will result in foreigners trying to insure themselves with an international insurance company. And the prices you have to pay for their policies are not cheap. J VAN DAALEN
