I got some insurance. I really only need medical insurance, so that in the case of a terrible catastrophe I don’t, in the words of my dad, “come back with a mortgage.” (he sure knows how to strike fear into my heart.)
I don't need much in terms of cancellation insurance or stuff insurance. If my stuff gets stolen or a flight gets canceled, I'll buy new stuff, for less than the cost of an insurance policy. Or maybe I'll just stay where I am! Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.
Anyway, medical. I'm looking for a high max coverage (mortgage mortgage), I'm not too picky about the deductible (nothing bad ever happens ever), and I don't want to get hosed. Approximate prices for a year of coverage:
World Nomads: $600, $100k max
International SOS, including medical: $1000
MedexAssist: $1500
Some other site I don't remember: also $1500
IMGlobal: $350, $500k max (customizable)
I feel like I must have missed something. How can different companies be off by a factor of 4? But I read through the plan a couple times and it looks pretty foolproof. And IMGlobal is a legit company. Chalk it up to truly just buying what I want, I guess.
