Regardless of whether You buy travel Insurance or Not, You will get screwed over! I have found it less painful in Mexico than in either the USA or Canada!
That said We do buy Travel Insurance ,but only with a $5,000 Deductible!
Any time that We have visited a Clinic or Doctor in Mexico ,We have been reimbursed fully by BC Medical for Everything that We submitted Receipts for.
Obviously We have Not had any really traumatic or serious happen to Us while in Mexico. I did contract Food Poisoning at a Restaurant in Mexico that was operated by a Canadian however .
I suffered severe dehydration and required Ambulance Service ..Free.. And several litres of Electrolyte ,some prescription drugs ,blood tests and several visits to the clinic.
I believe the total cost was under $260.00 .....BC Medical and Pharmacare repaid Us all but $10.00 which was the Tip that I gave the Ambulance Attendant.
