As a foreigner living in Alaska, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Alaska if they have access to public healthcare in Alaska. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Alaska, you will have access to public healthcare. Alaska's public healthcare system is called DenaliCare and it provides comprehensive health coverage for all Alaskan residents, including those who are not citizens. DenaliCare covers a wide range of services, including preventive care, hospitalization, mental health services, and prescription drugs. It also offers a variety of programs to help Alaskans access care, such as sliding-scale fees and discounts for low-income individuals. DenaliCare is funded by the state of Alaska and is administered by the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Alaska.
