The universal healthcare debate occurring in the United States often raises questions about similar programs employed internationally. But what Americans traveling abroad may not realize is that the coverage available to citizens of other countries may not also be available to them. Additionally, U.S. citizens living abroad or traveling internationally may find that their current insurance policy has many limitations in regards to what sort of coverage they’re allowed overseas. With that in mind, it’s a great idea to buy an citizen international insurance policy whenever living internationally or traveling abroad for an extended period.
