Insurance for working in the USA
If you are going to work in the US as a FI-has anyone any advice about where to go for health/general insurance?
And the fact that someone would be working as an instructor put the cost of the insurance through the roof?
Any advice greatly appreciated

Most employers provide health benefits for their employees. Both you and the employer contribute. I'm currently paying $90 for health and dental a month and it's well worth it. If you were in need of medical attention in the US without insureance the costs go up fairly quickly.
As a FI I presume (first mistake!) you would be covered on the schools policy. However, AOPA do provide Aviation insurance coverage through AIG. I have my pvt license and my insurance is $170 a year. I saw on there they have FI policies also.
If you can check out AOPA flight training magazine, usually a wealth of information on this kind of stuff on there. For $33 a year I got an annual subscription to the magazine, lots of resources on their website, and a Jeppesen flight planner application for my PC.
Where in the US are you thinking of instructing? It's currently a great market for instructors, my pvt instructor logged 100+ hours a month for 6 months and is now off to work at the regionals.
