Travel Insurance costs for Canadians
I have noticed an increase in prices for Travel Health Insurance (Canadians). Much of this is probably due to the rising costs for emergency health care in the USA. Costs in Mexico have risen as well...

Mostly to Crandle- about insurance premiums being tax deductible: if you have a supplimentary policy in Canada, like Manulife or Blue Cross- the premiums are a deduction.
We now have med insurance here in Mexico through GNP, which also covers us for 3 months/year internationally. We didn't get coverage for the everyday stuff...just for major things-that keeps our premiums to around $2500./year for the both of us.
When hubby parted with his gallbladder 2 years ago, the cost was below our deductible, so we just paid it...less than equiv.$4000.Cdn. and with excellent care. It works for us.
