Medical Insurance Question
Until recently I have not needed to take out USA medical insurance but now that I am in between jobs, I need to do so.
I live part-time in Arizona and part-time in London and as medical insurance costs are very expensive in the USA I have been looking at alternatives including spending more time in the UK and taking out annual multi-trip travel medical insurance. However, it occurred to me that others may have found a less expensive option of which I am unaware. Does anyone know of any medical insurance packages either here or from the UK that my wife and I might consider?
Many thanks.

Re: Medical Insurance Question
What visa are you using to stay in the US?
And travel insurance from the UK won't do you any good, they're generally, even annual policies cover a maximum of 90 days at a go and if anything happens they'll repatriate you.
Check out einsurance.com and search the forums, plenty of threads on medical insurance lately.
