I think you probably realise this already but given his condition and history and the fact that he is still on medication means that any insurance that does not cost an arm and a leg will have so many exclusions that it will be a waste of money. If he has any kind of a scare with his heart, he will end up spending minimum a few days in a cardiac facility and the bill will be into five figures.
