? on insurance

I noticed on this forum that many of you talk about getting travel insurance because of your pacemaker...is this recommended and what does it cover? We go to Nassau every year and need to get the insurance if needed. Would just like some advice on the issue. Many thanks. I have only had my PM for two weeks. We don't go til first of year so surely can travel by then!

SICK OF INSURANCE

I dont take out insurance as I am sick of the companies finding a let out clause so they run off with your money and dont pay. I just take the risk even on travelling right around the planet. Statistically most problems occur within 5 miles of home apparently. Cheers pete

Peace of mind...

There ARE companies out there who don't charge you an arm and a leg AND will take care of you if something goes wrong.
My wife and I took a couple of weeks and drove across the US (We are Canadian).
We took out extra travel insurance (cost about $62.00) just for peace of mind.

I got the insurance through BCAA (or AAA in the US).
They have a pretty good reputation.

I figured it beats paying $$$ if you end up sick or have an accident.

As far as Pete's statistics, he is somewhat correct - HOWEVER, it only takes ONE incident in another country... and you may no longer have a home!

I am just thankful that I am alive and that even though I have this pacemaker it is not the end of the world.
