From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Health is the general condition of a person in all aspects. It is also a level of functional and/or metabolic efficiency of an organism, often implicitly human. The CaduceusAt the time of the creation of the World Health Organization (WHO), in 1948, health was defined as being "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". Only a handful of publications have focused specifically on the definition of health and its evolution in the first 6 decades. Some of them highlight its lack of operational value and the problem created by use of the word "complete." Others declare the definition, which has not been modified since 1948, "simply a bad one." [1] In 1986, the WHO, in the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, said that health is "a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities." Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications (WHO-FIC), which is composed of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) also define health. Overall health is achieved through a combination of physical, mental, and social well-being, which, together is commonly referred to as the Health Triangle. From Wikipedia under the

Well, if she's 40 and perfectly healthy, it's going to cost her about $500 a month to have a low/no deductible plan that covers checkups. You BUY it on a month to month basis. If you want low monthly payments, you have to cut the coverage - like take a $10,000 deductible. Or higher. That would cut payments down to maybe $200 a month or less. The older she is, the less healthy she is, the more it costs. Your best bet, is to find a local, independent agent, who can help you balance cost with coverage.

I've lived here in France for 9 years and am not an expert... but... Salaried employees pay tax as does their employer on their income, which is called 'Social Charges' this covers health and retirement among other things. However it doesn't usually cover 100% of health/medical costs!!! Normally the standard contributions cover about 75% of the medical costs. People who are in the French health system have a 'Carte Vitale' (Health Card) which has a chip with their ID on. This allows them to get discount when they go to the Chemist for a prescription and allows the Doctor to access their records. Many people take out a private health insurance or 'Top Up health insurance' to take care of the final 25% medical fees.

Check your domestic health insurance (if any) and bank (if you have a "premium" type account); the might include travel insurance. If not, try the people who you buy home/car/pet insurance from; they might offer you travel insurance at a reduced rate. In the UK, the Post Office usually has the best deals on travel insurance, but I don't know how common this practice is in the rest of the world.
