Fuzzy M asked: I am a 30-year-old US citizen who has been living outside the US. I have end-stage colon cancer, and I suspect no normal health insurance provider will ensure me because my pre-existing condition means I am not so much a risk at this point as a definite cost.
I want to go home and visit my friends and family (just for a few weeks), but if something should happen and I need medical attention, I’m afraid my life savings will be drained by a single surgery. Is there any kind of temporary high-risk insurance or government program you know of that I might qualify for? My health insurance in this country will not extend to the US, and I think the travel medical insurance in this country is only available to citizens of this country (though I will look into that).
Thanks in advance.

shonester asked: I have had a chronic medical condition for the last few years – and the Canadian doctors have not helped me at all. I plan on going to the US for a second opinion and for any tests they’ll want done.
Can I get insurance to help cover the cost somewhat? (This is not the same as travel insurance or emergency insurance.) Also no doctor in Canada is forwarding me down there – I am going by my own choice.
I don’t know if this is considered a “pre-existing condition” though. My doctors say its nothing. But I have had stomach problems for the last few years.

Rick asked: Hi,
What is meant by “Emergency Evacuation” in terms of travel medical insurance for those who come to US from India?
Usually,the insurance coverage says that it is up to policy max in case of Emergency Evacuation.
So, if the car accident happens & if the parents are taken to nearest hospital through just ambulance, would it be considered as “Emergency Evacuation” or would it be considered under just using ambulance service?
Thanks!

John S asked: Many people go out of the UK for dental treatment or other surgery.
But all travel insurance won’t cover the trip if this is the reason
Insurance is not needed for the operation as that is paid for.
Insurance is needed if anything else happens – EG road accident
