Q: How much do you pay for expat health insurance?

I got a quote from an international health insurance broker company and the cheapest quote was 1600 euros per year! I almost fell off my chair. This seems way too expensive. Is there anyone here who pays less and can recommend the name of an affordable health insurance company (by affordable I mean somewhere in the range of 1000-3000 RMB)

Health Insurance in China is priced, as it is everywhere else, based on your age, your medical history and current health, and the coverage you want with acceptable deductibles.  

Maybe one way to reduce premium would be to insure only for major occurrences, with higher deductibles.  But from my experience, it is very expensive no matter what.

Have you consider self insurance.  Open an account and deposit what premium you are willing to pay, and allow it to accumulate.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
