If everything goes as planned I would like to retire in Germany where

http://www.healthinsuranceinfo.net/, a site from Georgetown University. You
may want to check the PDF versions, which are newer than the HTML in some

Also, http://www.workingsolo.com/ should have good advice.
Best of luck! |
| The whole family (working father, not working mother, children) is
protected by health insurance, if the father is a member of an health
insurance by law. And the company he works for pays 50 % of the
insurance rates. |
| A friend of mind (freelance writer) recommended going to
www.simplyhealth.com, but I also found the CareFirst site (carefirst.com)
helpful and relatively affordable for this area. Check out other
insurance providers that are more prevalent on your area.
Hope this helps.

from a spouses fulltime job or their own job elsewhere or through
a retirement program--or dont have any insurance at all. Otherwise Blue
Cross/Blue Shield seems to be the only frequently mentioned response. |
