Having somehow temporarily overcome my akratic barriers I’ve gotten in touch with Alcor and CI directly by email/webform.
Alcor has suggested a UK insurer, which isn’t ideal; the upside is that they’ve worked with them before.
CI has written back indicating that they will accept any insurance contract written outside the US, provided a) they are named as sole beneficiary, b) it names an amount sufficient to cover their fees, c) the contract is translated into English and the translation is certified.
Armed with this info, I’ve been looking at insurance providers for term, “non-investment” insurance. A preliminary calculation suggests that I could get an adequate contract for as little as €320/yr, as a non-smoking 40yo. (One catch: I couldn’t find any that insured past the age of 90.)
I’m significantly downgrading the “can’t afford” objection as a result. The #1 problem becomes “transportation”—not so much paying for it, as my specifications for an “adequate” contract include an amount large enough to cover that, but how to arrange it.
I live in Sweden, and I’ve basically given up for similar reasons as well. This is a huge problem.
Here’s an update.
