Answer
Insurance companies will pay for any new medical conditions, sickneseses, injuries or accidents that may occur after the effective date of the policy. It will not cover any pre-existing medical conditions.
Whether the person is healthy or not, it does not matter, as the probability of someone getting into any new medical condition is same for any given age. However, once you have new medical conditions, how much you are covered is what is different in various policies.
Essentially, there are 2 types of insurance plans:
Fixed: Cheaper, limited coverage
Comprehensive: More expensive, better coverage

And both of the above mentioned plans will cover anywhere outside home country. In order to cover anywhere outside home country, just have the effective date of the insurance one day in advance of the departure date. Insurance is effective according to US eastern time the day you specify.
