health insurance canada
So should you buy travel health insurance? Probably. Hopefully you will never need it, but you will have to make a personal decision about whether you are willing to take a chance to save a couple hundred dollars or less. Your destination and the nature of your trip should be considered when making a decision. For example, an authentic African safari or wilderness white water rafting trip has a higher probably of medical implications than a seniors’ train tour, but life isn’t predictable. Assess your risk, financial capability to handle possible emergencies and your comfort level, and work from there.
