You probably know that the SRRV is on hold and no one knows when or if it will be active again. 

I know.  Tomorrow, May 14th.

I won't be giving up my Medicare so I will be keeping my US health insurance in case I have a major health issue.

I don't think MEDICARE is available outside the United States, you might want to research that.

I think he means he will keep paying it in case he needs to use it in the states, but you are correct, it can't be used in PH.  Guam is the closest place to use Medicare, I think.

I understand from my research that female companionship should not be an issue. 

Female companioship won't be hard to get... but almost guaranteed to be an "issue"

I understand it is only in the US,  My point is I could come back for care here if it was deemed medically necessary.  Thanks for your reply.

They are back up now.  Thanks.  I knew they were about to reopen the SRRV again.  Question is how long will they be open??  Thanks for your reply.

Great point.  I am also a veteran with a good DD214.  I am exploring that as a possibility also as the costs are much less.  still a little fuzzy on that one cause first they say you need a DD214, then they say you must be retired military.  I am the first one, but not the second.  Thanks.
