Health Insurance

I am moving to Singaraja, Bali in November. I am wondering if it is wise to purchase an international health insurance policy or just stick with a travel insurance policy instead for minimal coverage in case of an emergency. Any suggestions on providers and which one is better (cheaper??) yet effective? Also, is there anything in particular that I should bring over to Bali that I cannot find there such as prescriptions, tampons, cosmetics/hygiene. Thanks any input is greatly appreciated! Oh yeah, one more thing- is it impossible and ridiculous to try and bring out our housecat? Is there a ban on bringing pets from the U.S. because of the rabies problem in Bali? If not, any suggestions on how to do so?
