Move to Canada or Europe!! Thts the best bet..

While I can't help you with health insurance, here is something else that will certainly be of great help should you need to get Rx medicines or lab tests or medical imaging. It is a free Rx discount card that saves up to 90% on Rx drugs (average is about 40% across all medicines). I have seen highest of 96.35% and lowest of 0% (on those month's supply of $4.00 Rx drugs). Depending on where you live, it also saves up to 60% on lab tests and medical imaging. It is completely free. Print it, keep it in the wallet, and use when you need it. No personal info whatsoever needed. All major pharmacies accept the card, but Walgreens/CVS/Rite Aid give you the lowest discount. So, go to someplace else. Here is the link to print your card. http://ibourl.com/dr9

Not sure where you got that idea about free health insurance here but as far as I know an international student doesn't get one. However, when you are admitted to a hospital or ER they are required to give you the healthcare you need regardless of your ability to pay for it or not. So, no free insurance but free healthcare for you.
