Hi J&A: I looked into repatriation insurance. It seems to be alright if you have a serious medical issue. Say a heart attack. But otherwise they don't fly you out without a Dr saying you have to be transported. Some of the non expensive policies do not fly you home. Only to the nearest decent medical facility. For snowbirds some of the insurance companies have a new game. They will not pay any medical costs until you are out of the hospital and have filed all the paperwork. Not a big deal if the costs are say $1000. But what if your bill is $50,000 or more. Not everyone has that amount sitting around in cash! Years ago US Hospitals used to accept Canadian insurance but that seems to have changed.
