Welcome to the forum Fish83.

As you have had no responses I will throw my hat into the ring. In Australia we had private health cover and was around AU 6K a year for intermediate cover, before we moved here I looked at many private health insurers here and they were a little dearer (I was 58 at the time) but what I didn't like was the older you got either the premiums rose or the benefits reduced based on your age.

Insurance companies are maggots no matter health, car etc.

What we did was stuck money into an investment account to be self funded earning 5% interest and also the 6/7K a year after 5 years that we saved not paying the maggots well more than pays for open heart surgery etc.

We do pay PhilHealth which costs us around AU 450 per year and that will get you into a decent private hospital with no waiting.

If you have existing problems coming here they don't want to know you.

Good luck.

Cheers, Steve.
