Why are questions about insurance off topic and being closed as primarily opinion based ? I think insurance is one of the most important things an expat would be concerned about and other expats would be one of the best sources of information.

    Any chance you could link to a few examples?

  • Agreed - examples? I looked at the health-insurance tagged questions and all are currently open.

    Of course just looking for insurance is probably considered shopping, or opinion based. It's going to be different for every person, and rates/conditions change regularly.

    However, questions about say, Aussie medicare covering you while working as an expat in India, would certainly be of interest, and objectively answerable.

    Also, Beware the slopes of “As an expat …”

    Questions about insurance are definitely not off-topic. The two most popular questions are about health insurance, a few others about other types of insurance are still open (a few “close” votes but no consensus yet). So perhaps we need to discuss what makes an insurance question on- or off-topic, and not so much what we think about insurance in general.
