Global health insurance by Airbnb

I was just wondering why won't Airbnb offer insurance for expats abroad and global health insurance for everybody that wants to apply? I'm taking about rates of $1-3/day health insurance. Airbnb has already a good trust and reputation and the world becomes more and more global. I currently live in Thailand. The health/travel insurance plans from companies in Thailand are not good and they give so little cover for relatively expensive insurance plans.

Why should Airbnb offer health insurance ?

It's a usual option to choose at travel insurance policies.

@Royi0 One could also ask why Airbnb don't offer taxi services or run restaurants. I guess its just not their business to do so.

Also please don't encourage them to do anything else until they have sorted out their STR platform and customer support in particular.

Why would you expect Airbnb; a listing company for short term rentals to offer health insurance for immigrants who have moved abroad to another country @Royi0 

 

Surely you have health insurance companies for that?
