For those of us thinking about working abroad and still living in the states, what kind of health insurance policy do you recommend? The company that I will work for provides health insurance for me while I am working but when I commute home I am on my own along with my wife. Any suggestions?

There are no cheap options, beetle, and you get what you pay for - the cheapie companies you see advertised on late morning cable cover essentially nothing. The high-deductible plans are more affordable, but ... the deductible is high. They prevent catastrophic financial damage and get you the insurance "discount", but you'll pay a lot out-of-pocket. There may be a way to get a plan that's effective only when you're in the country, which would save some bucks.
