[quote=Anonymous]It’s really hard to know without knowing what the issues are but someplace like Ireland has direct flights and people speak English and health care is pretty decent.

It’s late to plan for Alaska but that’s America so has that benefit (but depending on where you go you might need helicopter transport to hospital so definitely need the good insurance).

We took my dad to Mexico several times despite his complex health conditions.  People there are so nice, and the Costco pharmacy was great when he forgot his medications.  I think there are some decent hospitals for people with money — but  again it’s gojng to depend what kind of treatment you might need and how likely you are to need it.

Some poorer countries have better healthcare for Americans to access than some of the rich European countries with universal healthcare.  I’ve actually heard Thailand has incredible hospitals due to the medical tourism.  But that kind of flight might be difficult and again you’d want good insurance in case you need a medical flight home. [/quote]
