With that I have $1 million per year annual policy that should.

I just figure Karoline Leavitt wrote it with assistance from Steve Cheung.

Sophie Tucker (1886-1966): I've been rich, and I've been poor. Rich is better.

There is a Plan B penalty waiver for persons involved in International NGO activity and maintain personal medical insurance. So, for 2025 at $185.00 at per month, I have $2200 available for payment for Health insurance while in Thailand.

Official White House response: FACT CHECK: President Trump Will Always Protect Social Security, Medicare The White House March 11, 202 https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/03/fact-check-president-trump-will-always-protect-social-security-medicare/

OK I am lucky. But I first got medical insurance in Thailand 20 years ago when I didn't have any disqualifying pre-existing conditions. One thing the self-insured folks say they either have a reserve or have otherwise access to a lump sum cash. I don't. My finances are geared to the 65K retirement extension so paying an annual premium is OK but I would have a difficult time especially on any timely basis coming up with major lump-sum cash.

Well there are 2 reasons people on here go for self-insurance: 1. is that they have some medical condition which prevents them from getting health insurance, and 2. Those that want to let you know how much smarter they are than the actuaries at Lloyd's (where almost all health insurance policies eventually end up).

Thanks. Self - insurance as commonly used here is not insurance as there is no shared risk -- which was the bedrock of insurance as founded at the Lloyd's coffee house in the late 1600's.

So, you don't have any insurance. You have a 'reserve' for any emergency prior to your getting yourself back to US assuming the 25 hour or so flying time is possible.

And many of us have insurance. While self-insurance is always an option, there is then never an option to have a claim paid for more than you put in.

As a single indication of what I believe, Morgan Stanley recently stated that ... That's OK. Morgan Stanley handles my accounts.

That presumes you are well enough and 'fit to fly' even to the airport in Bangkok.

Applying this to Donald Trump— 'cause he said it: “We will begin a new era of soaring incomes,” Mr. Trump said at a rally in October. “Skyrocketing wealth. Millions and millions of new jobs and a booming middle class. We are going to boom like we’ve never boomed before.”

Yap. Yap. Yap.

So maybe it's just taking a day or 2 off:

My endgame is to reach my full potential and keep on pushing for more. More knowledge, more money, more women and more life experiences.

Asked about the difference between a recession and a depression, President Harry Truman said: It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose your own. https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/203941.Harry_Truman

So DEFINITELYT there is a higher probability of having a claim denied than having a claim paid. Thank you, Mr. Wise.

Thank you. So, if someone were to say that '"claim denied" is likely and common' could one then infer the suggestion that the probability of a claim being denied exceeds the probability of a claim being paid?
