America is and has many, many things. Mountains, rivers, cities, villages, highways and, most of all, people. But one area where the USA is lagging is healthcare. You’re lucky if you can get it, but sometimes the fees and costs are just not feasible. And, if you have an accident of sorts, you could end up in a world of pain, literally and figuratively.
Ironically, some American citizens struggle to find travel insurance . . . in their own country. No-one in their right mind would want to travel across the USA with no (or poor) insurance. If some Americans have trouble, what about if their neighbors from the North – Canada – want to see the USA? What are those travelers meant to do? Even though you won’t be far from home, the unexpected can still happen.
Without the right insurance, medical expenses in the US can rack up quickly and throw a major curveball to your vacation. It is important thing to note that you must have GHIP coverage in your home province for your entire trip to be eligible for the maximum emergency medical expenses benefits.
Without GHIP coverage, your total limit for all emergency medical expenses is limited to CAD$40,000. While travelling in North America, there are some stipulations to follow to be covered. It’s a very smart decision to consider travel insurance for the United States, which can help protect you against unexpected trip delays, lost luggage, missed connections, and so much more. If that’s you, our affiliate friends, World Nomads have a solution. See below.
Would you believe that the lane on the left is the USA, the lane on the right, Canada? That’s trust.
