NEC's view
This is the health insurance we use personally. We found the Essential plan to be the most cost effective for our own basic needs at this time, while still providing pretty decent coverage. For those who need broader coverage or are navigating higher-risk contexts, we recommend Genki's Native Insurance.
What interests us more, though, is SafetyWing’s broader work beyond insurance. Through projects like Plumia, a nonprofit think tank led by Lauren Razavi (a writer The Catalog has long admired), they’re engaging with big questions around mobility, global citizenship, and what infrastructure could look like in a post-border world. The complex nuances their publications speak to align with our own posture and ethics.
We don’t endorse companies lightly. But when a product meets a real need and the people behind it are thinking systemically, we pay attention.
We recommend subscribing to their free newsletter Borderless to stay informed about new developments in the world of digital nomads, remote work, visas, and much more.
