I assume you're from Israel. I've seen an insurance company that advertizes in Yediot America that provides coverage for Israeli students and non-students. I don't have a link to them. I got their application forms once and they are a bit expensive. But then again insurance is always expensive, especially dental.

Manishama Serge, Tov Toda for your reply I am not Israeli just a bogus name (south african actually) I have been following your correspondence on this site eagerly and it seems you and I have a lot in common ,

I wrote the article in word of mouth 'be optimistic now' back last year after 9/11 and it sure seems that we all just have to 'deal' with our various concerns?

Hope to keep hearing from you , enjoy your insight a lot.

By the way do they have some or other medical coverge in this country where SSN wont be required???

Thanks

Slikha, Jack.

Oh, thanks, man. I don't really have that much of an insight judging by my current situation. There's gotta be something... Like travel insurance. I know my old travel insurance paid for my emergency dental bills.

I've met a guy who's travel insurance payed for his supposedly stolen walkman - you would never expect something like that from a Swede and that's who he was. Are there any local SA papers in the US? Sorry I can't be of much help here.
