There's plenty of health insurance companies that will cover in latin america, including canadian, american, and latin american based ones. Plans vary of course, I pay $350/yr or so for up to $500k coverage anywhere in central america. The first 6 months here I was buying a travel package from canada that was pretty much the same, $90 for each 3 month block, including coverage for 48 hours in the usa for when I was flying.
