Why buy travel insurance?
Isn’t my provincial medical plan enough? No. Unfortunately, your provincial health plan covers less than 7% of the total cost, typically to a maximum of $75-$100 per day. You may also be surprised to find out what’s missing from your credit card insurance or employee health plan.
These days, many hospitals won't even admit patients without adequate medical coverage. If they do, the costs can be astronomical. One hour in an Emergency Room, could cost as much as $10,000 in the United States! Major surgery and extended intensive care, could leave you penniless. Is it worth the risk? Discover comprehensive coverage with Travel Direct.
