In case anyone is interested, I sell Emergency Medical (and other) travel insurance for people visiting Canada.
Tell me more, KMMK. Under what circumstances would we need it?
It's for if you have a medical emergency and have to go to a clinic or hospital, or need an ambulance. You'd have to pay totally out of pocket.
Certainly it's much more of a concern for Canadians travelling to the USA than vice versa, as our costs are much lower. But still, you can't predict if something will go terribly wrong.
I have no idea how US insurance works; maybe you already have out of country coverage. As mentioned, often people here have some coverage from a credit card. But it can be quite limited. So you (in the general sense) should compare it to a privately purchased individual policy.
You being FI, you might be interested in a policy with a high deductible, as you're probably most concerned about catastrophic emergencies. You save some money that way.
There are some limitations re: pre-existing conditions and such, of course. I have the full details if needed, of course.
Anyhow, I'm sure you can get the same thing in the US, but figured I'd mention it in case anyone wants to give business to a forum member.
For a price example, I quoted two 65 year olds, $200,000 limit, $2,500 deductible (each) X 7 days = $118.
Cheaper of course for any younger people who may be interested.
