I probably didn't phrase that properly.
In the UK it is also not required for international travel, but is recommended.
Some people have had to sell their houses to pay medical bills abroad when they needed medical help and didn't buy insurance.
What I meant was that I thought that US and Canadian travellers like us, bought travel insurance as a standard as medical care isn't free in Jamaica for tourists, or probably anywhere but the UK, but that is soon to change.
Or can you use other insurances to pay medical bills. We can't .
Aquarians flight....pre existing medical conditions is one of the biggest get out clauses. My insurance dose'nt charge any extra for most pre existing health issues as long as you declare them at the point of obtaining the insurance.
