Daniel, thanks for the URL.
I thought about starting a new thread under "A fresh coat of paint" but adding here is good enough.
The new JA travel policy, or scheme, or manditary insurance has slipped 2 weeks (we seen that before, such as the Obamacare date but the web site wasn't finished and there were security "holes" also (not a political statement! I just couldn't think of another example) cause management doesn't ask the programmers what a realistic date would be.)
I wanted to wait a bit before I stated that the Jamaica plan should get good mileage and also be helpful, as well as me calling it "travel insurance without the lost baggage clause."
I do believe Jamaica is the "lead agency" and 4 islands are joining in, and it all seems good except I thought this "get sick and we fly you home" would make a smaller dent in the price of flying down.
But a June story, with recent updates, is about the Bahamas:

You’ll need to purchase mandatory health insurance when applying for the visa, at the following rates, effective Nov. 14, 2020:

The above is NOT about Jamaica. I don't know why length of stay has a bearing. I have read no actualy policy from JA either.
As for the tourism guy who predicts a 40% increase in visitors over last year, must have been a mis-print IMO.
