You should check into international health insurance coverage plans from your home country. My family has one and we're from the USA. It is FAR cheaper than any health insurance plan in the states and also covers emergency evacuation. The only requirement is that we spend most of time out of the USA since health care costs in the USA are so high. For us we get the bonus of a US based company and quality health care when we do go back home - we went back to have our first child and the insurance kicked in smoothly for us without any problems or hesitation.

My wife and I have both required operations overseas here in China as well, and the costs were so low that it barely breeched our deductible. In any case, the emercengy evac is worth the cost alone, and knowing they will have us covered if we should need to go back to the USA for any reason is a great comfort.
