Hi there

State care is excellent, although private health care is relatively inexpensive here if you use Spanish based companies.

As regards insurance, I guess you are talking about keyman insurance, or something like that which pays you when you are off work. There are plenty of insurance companies over here and I'm sure you would find something to suit you. Try looking in one of the online newspapers
