I will speak from experience here. While house sitting in Spain, I passed out at the computer. I came around right away but the wife and I decided that I needed to visit the local hospital in Alicante. Well, long story short after almost a week in ICU, I left with a new souvenier from Spain, a pacemaker. Thank God, I had Travel Insurance. I used a different company than your video is about but that is not the point. Folks listen to Jen and Stevo and get travel insurance before you leave your home country. Take a look at what they have to say.

We are traveling for the next 4-6 years between Mexico and Argentina, and maybe SE Asia. We are healthy, 56 and 61, we hit the gym and do long walks and eat a plant based diet.
Health insurance or not….either way there is a risk. We have decided to pay out of pocket. If insurance is say $400/month for us, that’s $4800/year….10 years is $48, 000. All of the cities we are traveling to have pretty low costs for even big events. A major heart attack may cost $10, 000-$20, 000.
We instead have savings and continue to add to it. AND, our savings account never denies our claims !
In the meantime we get physicals, check ups, and regular blood panels, to make sure we stay in good shape.
Everyone has to decide what is right for them.

I have no health insurance here in the USA, even when I did have coverage in reality I still had no coverage. Thanks to the greatest health-care system in the world I lost my peripheral vision because of poor quality health-care.

Great video. I can tell dude is really smart.

What insurance did you choose?

Not sure but I’m just on tourist visas. So every 2-4 months I buy a new travel insurance policy for the country’s I’m going. But looking into real policy. But I like emergency evacuation coverage since I’m in Asia.

Thank you!
Watched your older video and this update is awesome! We plan to travel for a year across Asia/Europe (from US) wanted to ask:
1. What E-sims do you use
2. Have you/do you recommend porting your US number with Google voice for calls?
