So I have a particular situation regarding health insurance in Japan. I am planning to move there with my wife and two kids aged 16 and 20. Mostly as my wife wants to be with family as here parents age.
I will be working as a contractor in Japan for the company that I have worked for in the U.S. for 16 years, so I will be paying for my Health Insurance through the comapny.
My wife who is a Japanese citizen but has not lived there for 20 years will find a job there as she has an R.N. License in the U.S. and in Japan. So I assume this will cover her at some point. I believe that my 16 year old should not be much of an issue since he is a minor.
However I am confused as to what to do with our 20 year old. We plan to have him attend college on a U.S. based school (Military Base) so he will be a student and possibly get a part time job (somehow). I don’t want to count on him getting a job as his Japanese is almost none existent.
What are his (20 year) options for medical insurance? What is the average cost? I see that private insurance can cost about $400 a month but are there any other options for a lower cost?
Any advice will help.
