That's a good idea, but what if you cannot travel because of your health?
Not travelling because I'm unconscious or in a critical condition? Foreign insurance + air repatriation.
Some countries do sell that, even to non residents. Just get world coverage - it's a bit more than $70, but if something bad happen, you get med evac'ed to that country and treated there.
I'm exploring that option as I discover the wonder of medical tourism.
If you have an accident you will already be >50k in the negative before you even wake up. And nobody will fly you around with serious injuries.
I thought it's only for people with residence + VIP client in a bank or something.

Just when you are travelling with them in the first place... Not for this use-case, where your fall ill in your home country.
And, nothing there says they will pay you back fully.
You will be surprised what some places offer.
Who would take that advice? It's the worst advice I heard in several years.
I thought travelling was about places that you want to see and trying to avoid hospitals.
Even repatriation is only when you are travelling, not going abroad for visiting a hospital.
