Serious Question: What on earth will you do if you get sick when on the road? You can't hop on a flight and head back home. This is the crux I have been contemplating.
It’s not the end of the world for me or my loved ones to get sick when away and require local medical care, but a little planning and investment upfront in ways can go a long way to help minimize the chances of becoming a fatality because of the differences between healthcare at home and away. And such planning/investment makes things easier for the traveler and/or their survivors in the event of a major health problem abroad. In some instances this planning/investment would mean avoiding travel to some places.
