Medical Insurance

I get 40 days of insurance through the retired public servants system.  So Barb thought there was no rush to get travel insurance before we left Canada because it wouldn’t take effect for 40 days.  She would have 40 days to apply and pay the fees.  So the other day, she sat down to apply to Medipac, the Snowbirds Travel Insurance, we usually get.  She filled out all of the forms and just before she applied she saw a NOTE.  It said that you could only apply from a Canadian address.  I was out for my walk and Barb was at home panicking.  She phoned Medipac and they told her there was nothing they could do.  It was some kind of law.  Barb asked what she could do.  She was imagining us having to go home to get our travel insurance figured out.  They said she could phone the people that are giving us insurance right now.  So she found out who they were and called them.  They said it was no problem.  We could get insurance from them.  Barb was relieved and Medipac may have lost our business.
