Airlifted to hospital

This is an 'odd one'.                                Cruise ship passenger airlifted to hospital says: 'I wasn't even ill' (msn.com)

Its MSN. Not known for their in depth analysis.

Perhaps the really "odd" aspect is his unwillingness to claim on his insurance.

 

As his costs were as a result of a medical diagnosis (however wrong it proved to be), so you'd expect his insurers to pay out (unless he has undeclared pre-existing conditions)

I suspect that there is a problem with his insurance.

Me too, babs

The frustrating part of this story (and others of interest) is that you never find out how the matter was resolved, etc.  In this particular case I'm wondering if he didn't have the correct insurance and didn't want to admit it to a wider audience.  We've read stories before of people cruising to America and the Caribbean but whose insurance only covers them for Europe.

Folk often cut back on their insurance hoping "it'll never happen to me".

 

I've had two medical claims. One successful, one not. The "not" because they said I hadnt declared a medical condition. Strictly true, so couldnt appeal however unjustified I thought their stance was. And one cancellation claim when a close family member died literally on the day we were due to travel. That was also successful. Eventually.
