    Like most ex-pats I've met here, we have some savings for the 'everyday' needs regarding healthcare. Not a huge amount just enough for not such serious stuff.
    That said, if I have any health issue that will require huge financials to guarantee a good quality of life for a quite some time then I'll return to UK, take the treatment and live out a good life.
    Otherwise I'm prepared to face the consequences here.
    It's a serious question that needs to be thought out properly.

    As has been intimated, there's excellent healthcare facilities here in the Philippines. But it's only helpful if you're close by.

    I met many who would travel 4 or 5 hours by bus to get to a decent medical centre. When asked what would happen if they didn't make it they all said "so be it".
    If I suggested living in the city, they had a million reasons not to.

    We choose a life we want to live and accept all that goes with that.

    Life is finite.
