Update on my inquiry.
Their email reply was "... it may be more beneficial for you to give us a call ...."
Although I thought my email was sufficiant, I called and was appeased. (sp?) My travel dates are correct and so the medical coverage is included. And any pre-existing conditions are covered. I don't have any, but while I mentioned my 'fear of being denied' ala the Canada story I cited (briefly), the gal in Virginia said I was covered.
I could not find the Canadian story Oldtimer cited so I don't know details NOR what policy he purchased. (next paragraph)
My $212 fare, one way up via Jet Blue, had a $22 insurance cost, and I infer (not imply) that JetBlue sold policies include the medical pre-existing, as well as the 50K evac coverage, etc.
Two asides: the 212 gives me 370 overall coverage, although IMO I am underinsuring my airline tickets so $212 is the max for that item. Aside #2: While on the insurance site, a $212 flight would have cost me $49. (I think, but I was plugging in various numbers.)
Tangents: medical costs are 'secondary' to my primary insurer. I wonder if the Canadian story only applies to Canada citizens or their airlines.
I'm doing all this from a health standpoint even though my JC Penny charge card (humor) does not have a 25K credit line. (guess I'll die down there.) I can swallow any flight problems, although I have gotten upset when the airlines keep a hundred bucks for rescheduling. Boy have they got (what's the Spanish word for balls?) kajoelees (?).
I think I read (conjecture, not factual) that all the fees they have charged (and can charge, but shorter than your list of banking fees) has generate billions, perhaps more income than renting the seats. (No proof of those last seven words.) Oh oh. I've switched from insurance to bitching. Sorry.
