2. HOW CAN I GET INEXPENSIVE OUT-OF-COUNTRY MEDICAL INSURANCE?
http://www.statravel.com
The International Student/Teacher Identity Card (can be purchased in the U.S. through STA Travel) provides basic accident and sickness insurance for travel outside of the U.S., including hospital stays, accident medical expense, emergency evacuation, accidental death and dismemberment, repatriation of remains, passport protection and baggage delay insurance. This is a great inexpensive way ($22) to get basic medical coverage for our time outside of the USA during our field study. The card is also useful for gaining discounts for other aspects of international travel.

In 2002-2003 they offer more extensive international insurance for roughly $130 for 25 days.
