As an adult male in his mid-fifties I have traveled internationally since early childhood.  Beginning in the 1950’s I spent summers in French speaking Canada and I recall how exotic it was to hear people speaking in a language other than English. I am reminded of these first memories each spring when I open the very same summer cottage that I roamed as a child.  How precious those first experiences continued to be as a young father as I watched with wonder as my children learned French in school and were able to converse in the local language on their summer vacations.

In the language of healthcare our two countries could not be more different.  The U.S. and Canada took different forks in the road back then.  Healthcare became a government service in Canada and in the U.S. it became a right bestowed by your employer.  Now, because of escalating costs, U.S. healthcare has become unaffordable to many millions of people and employers are curtailing or limiting coverage for their employees.  For all of its short falls, the Canadian system works for the majority of Canadians.  The U.S. system is failing many more individuals then Canada.

Today it is more important to buy insurance if you are a Canadian coming to the U.S. or if you are a U.S. citizen traveling to Canada.  Whether you are an international student, traveling on business or just on vacation you need travel medical insurance; MultiNational Underwriters of Indianapolis, Indiana is a leader in the travel medical insurance industry.  Atlas Travel Medical Insurance has been the brand of choice since 1998.

IF you are travelling, play it safe. Have a good travel insurance. Most insurance, including medical ones, may not cover travel related medical emergencies. If you are one of those who are not sure, before even booking your travel plans, you should first consider making inquiries about travel insurance.Do not find out too late that your current medical insurance provider do NOT cover travel medical expenses when outside of your home country or that your current insurance covers only up to 50 per cent of the claim.

Often travel insurance are very competitively priced, some even as low as $1 per day and this meagre sum does go a long way towards a stress-free holiday.

Of course, no one wants to fall ill during a tour but for a nominal fee, let travel insurance give you that peace of mind.

I had been browsing several travel insurance sites and this one offers pretty reasonable rates. Check it out. They also offer free quotes, no obligations.

We all love to travel and recently I even made a trip myself which I shall be covering at a later post. But what I had wanted to share with all of you out there, who think that they have all the medical coverage that they may need as they travel overseas, it is time to seriously think about how far that coverage will go?

Why do we need Insurance as we travel overseas? Well, for one the food is often the most common cause of most hospitalisations overseas, lets face it, we as westerners just cannot stomach even a bit of spicy food. The minute we take it into our mouths, our tummies start rebelling right away. If we are fortunate, this distress may last only for a day or two at the most and can be handled with the most common over the counter medicines. But more often than not, our bodies just cannot handle all that hot and spicy food and as a result we often get dehydrated and need to be hospitalised. And naturally our medical expenses will just shoot up through the ceiling, and we may think that our insurance will cover all that. But here is the catch, whenever it comes to insurance, there always is a catch and the bottom line is that most of the insurance companies will not cover your medical expenses that you may incur overseas and what is more, even the few that agree to do so, will only agree to cover half of our medical expenses.

How do I know this? Well, in my last trip to Egypt, I ended up being hospitalised with both a broken leg as well as acute dehydration. What I had stated above had all happened to me . And just when I thought that there seems to be no proper travel Insurance coverage that seems to exist, I came across this company that makes sure that you get all the right coverage as you travel overseas and the best part is that they can give you the coverage for as little as 1$.

If you are reading this site it is probably because you want to move overseas. Kudos to you for that! And I am right there with you! Now, before you make that move you will likely be traveling trying to figure out where you want to go and whatnot. If that is the case, do not let a medical disaster bankrupt you and sideline those dreams just because you were not carrying travel medical insurance.

If you have medical insurance through an employer or something then you may think that you are fine. Well, think again! A lot of travelers end up finding out the hard way that their medical insurance only provides coverage in their home country or only pays half of the costs. And considering the current exchange rate with the dollar being so low, that half could be a lot.

Why not just get a travel medical insurance policy? Did you know that you can get one for as little as $1 a day? MultiNational Underwriters offers these plans. Get a free quote and see for yourself!
