Hi, my mum is in Australia and on her way to the Bahamas to do some sailing (hard life..) and needs some travel insurance. Mostly medical cover for USA/world (I’ve seen SICKO by Michael Moore) and cancellation etc.

Can you recommend any companies/policies? She is 53. Is probably looking for annual cover as she will be going away again overseas (Asia) later in the year.
DCK – thanks for contributing, but as I mentioned, my Mum is here in Australia, so it needs to be a company that is based here (the place she is a resident as insurance policies will fly you back if needed, to your home of residence only).
In regards to SICKO, it was in referrence to the cost of health care in the USA, which if you are not insured, visiting or not, you have to foot the bills.
Also, she will probably get annual cover which covers you for several trips a year around the world.

I will not have US Medical Insurance for 3 weeks and I will be taking a ski trip for 5 days during this period. Is there any sort of travel insurance I can get to cover myself during a ski/snowboard trip to Canada? I’m located in California. Is there online sites?
