I would only add that people should be careful when choosing "expat" insurance. Especially in regard to exclusions or pre-existing conditions, which are not issues in Japanese National Health Insurance. With regard to the one outfit mentioned in the article, they advertise that they cover "100%". I would advise readers to be sure that they clearly understand "100% of what", before they sign up with this or any other insurance scheme. Well researched and informative article!
