Best US State for health insurance while traveling
Hi yall! I’ve been doing van life for a little over 6 months and currently legally reside in California and I have insurance currently through an employer I won’t be able to keep due to my thyroid cancer. I need help figuring out the best state to establish residency in and get seen regularly by. I have frequently been in Illinois, I really enjoy Kentucky and Tennessee but I’m also planning on snowbirding in Arizona for most winters.
I primarily work for myself so I can afford most market place insurances under 400$, I need to be seen by a cancer specialist twice a year for the next 5 years of my life if my cancer does not come back. I also have other chronic health conditions so medical care is very important to me living.
I just no longer want to stay in California nor have to travel back regularly to be seen. I’m currently on medical leave until after my radiation treatment and I will more than likely have to quit my job due to it just not being a good idea to continue it due to my health. I don’t qualify for Medicade despite having a permanent disability and I also wouldn’t want to give up my retirement money to go on social security disability.
I’d love to hear what other people with cancer or other chronic health conditions do. I know medical care is really what stops so many people from traveling and I need the ability to go to see a handful of specialist semi regularly to live my life.
Update: while no one so far has mentioned it I’ll be going with South Dakota. It’s very easy to get residency, fairly good care and insurance is fairly affordable as well. It’s also a state I can get to most of the time within two days depending on where I’m staying and I do need medical care every couple of months if things go well.
