This will make you laugh,I've just been getting quotes for travel insurance for a cheap weeks holiday in Spain.Bearing in mind I live in the U.K. and have a heart condition that has actually improved with medication over the last 4 years the cheapest quote I can get is £147.00 .I had another quote for £228.00.The cost for a HEALTHY person is JUST £12.00.So I thought whilst I was at it I would try some other destinations,only to be bemused that I could visit Albania and Italy for £108.00 and Mexico,China,Antartica(that would do my Angina the world of good,NOT)
or Kuwait and even War Torn Iraq for £134.00.So why is it that Spain,which has probably the best Health service in Europe and is a one and a half hours flight from me costs £147.00 the exact same price as a weeks insurance in AUSTRALIA!!!
It's a F***ING JOKE!Having regular health checks and being on medication,I am far less likely to have a heart attack than the run of the mill stressed out tourist sitting next to me on the plane!By the way, the flight and hotel in Spain comes to £150.00.
Cheers,I just had to let off a bit of steam there,the spotlight kid.
P.S. U.S.A. costs £268.00
Cheers the spotlight kid.
