Medical Insurance

[katnip]

In another thread, AIA and BUPA were recommended for medical insurance in Thailand.

I am currently insured with "World Nomads" - http://www.worldnomads.com/ . It's a type of travel insurance that includes medical.

I am thinking of changing to a straight-out medical plan.

Are there plans that cover you for all countries (not absolutely certain I will stay in Thailand long-term), or at least the home country and Thailand , that forum members would recommend ?

Any comments on important considerations before signing up for anything ?
