As full-time travelers, Kristy Shen and Bryce Leung, a 30-something married couple from Toronto, are covered through what’s known as expat insurance. They recently purchased a policy from IM Global with a $2,500 deductible for around $30 each per month, Mr. Leung said. Should they need to self-insure in the future, Mr. Jensen would likely use a health care cooperative like Liberty HealthShare, as other FIRE adherents have, where members share medical expenses. A policy for his family would cost about $500 per month, he said. While health care is expensive in the United States, some of it nevertheless operates on a sliding scale, said Pete Adeney, a.k.a., Mr. Money Mustache.
