Insurance company

Heading to California to jump, will stay 4 months. Any one would recommend an insurance company?

Obamacare?

Sorry. I have no idea. Like many Americans, I receive my health care insurance thru my employer. I've never shopped for it in the outside market. But some of these people have. I hope someone will chime in.

Your profile says you're Chinese, but living in Vancouver. I'm going to assume you mean Vancouver BC. Most Canadians I know use CAA travel health insurance for southern trips. It does not have a skydiving exception, unless you are jumping professionally. I'm not sure if coverage for as long as 4 months is available though. But that's where I'd start looking. Even if you don't have a car, the price to join CAA is low enough and the insurance cheap enough to make it worth joining.

If you mean Vancouver, WA. I've got nothing for you.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

If you live in BC why do you have a chinese flag?

He might be Chinese citizen only. Why display a different flag, then?

Bad thread drift.... I'm not Japanese and have the Japanese flag here because it's where I jump. Different people seem to have interpreted the use of the flags differently.

As my CBC (Canadian-born Chinese) friend says, (add the stereotypical accent in your head), "What Canada? This New China!"

Hongcouver is my wife's hometown and was my home for a while.

I am not chinese, but when I put what country I live in that's what it chooses...

In his profile it says Vancouver, China... I don't think that place exists...

Thread drift is the best drift.

Does MSP cover skydiving?

So many Vancouverites hold dual-citizenship ..
Maybe 1/3 of Vancouverites were born in the province of British Columbia.
Entire neighborhoods in Vancouver only speak Cantonese or Mandarin or Punjab or Tagalo ...
Even I moved here after growing weary of Quebec winters.

The flag is something I will keep forever, no matter where I live. The city shows where I currently live.

[mozhuakenyao 2]

MSP covers skydiving, but it doesn't cover skydiving in the U.S.

Do you see the confusion that created? There is more than one Vancouver.

I was about to ask local insurance company in California, didn't mean to confuse anyone
