Paul, what kind of subscription were you trying to get, a porno magazine or sports?

When we first started going to Mexico, we were much younger and did not get the extra insurance. Now when we do a cruise or travel outside the US we always get the extra insurance. The horror stories you hear about is not worth the chance.

Not much response on this subject but I am not surprised. We have met many people predominately from the US that prefer to roll the dice.
We always buy it, not worth losing your home in a gamble.
My wife has had a rare cancer return but we remain insured . Don't b.s your insurer.
Our specialist in Calgary says we can return in Jan and get natural radiation.

We used them on a cruise. Our regular insurance company would not pay me seeing the ship doctor and for a subscription. All I had to do was send a copy of the refusal and copies of my bill and I was reimbursed for the medical bill. When ever we fly to Mexico we get the added insurance- don't know how it would be to use United's.

We always buy Allianz insurance when buy the tickets and had to use it this year. Husband had a fall and had to go to Clinica Maciel for one night and next day to Lazaro Cardenas for a CT since they don't have that facility in Zihua. They paid everything including the meds. The whole bill was about $1400. I will use them again. Think they are great!

Thanks ixiron. All insurance sounds good until you have a claim or reason to use it. That's why I had hoped that someone here may have had an experience with the one I mentioned.

Has anyone had any experience or opinion about "Emergency Assistance Plus" travel insurance? I've yet to receive a copy of the policy with all the small print.
