Travel Assist Question...
Does anyone have this coverage, and is it worth it? Traveling to AK in about 3 weeks and was thinking of purchasing it. Anyone think of a reason not to?

As I read it, in order to get many of the benefits in this insurance, you must call 911 to get to a hospital and must be in a hospital for 7 days. Why would someone who falls and breaks an arm, for example, waste an ambulance crew's time by going to a hospital via an ambulance when a trip in a car to the ER will suffice? What benefits would be usable in that situation? (Doesn't appear to be much, IMHO!) Also, most hospitalizations are for less than 7 days- even those requiring surgery, such as have a gall bladder removed. It seems to me that by putting in those criteria, Travel Assist saves itself from having to "put out". Interested in feedback. Anyone?
