π¬ What is it?
Outside Canada, your provincial health card is nearly useless. Travel insurance covers emergency medical costs, flight cancellations, lost luggage, and can fly you home on a medical evacuation if something serious happens. It's the one you can't skip.
π¨π¦ Why do Canadians need it?
A US hospital stay can cost $5,000β$20,000 per day. Medical evacuation from Mexico or Europe can exceed $100,000. Provincial plans cover only a tiny fraction of foreign medical bills.
