Question: Going on vacation to Canada, and I’m injury prone. I want to insure myself.?
I’m looking for temporary international health insurance while I’m in Canada for a few days. I have no existing health problems except for my super awesome ability to trip over things, which sometimes causes visits to emergency rooms, and Canadian hospitals won’t take American insurance (fair enough). Everything I’ve found on google seems like a scam. Does anybody have any suggestions?

If you have CAA (I suppose it is AAA in America) you can get travel health insurance at a very good rate. If you’re going with someone else who has AAA, you can get group insurance for an even better rate!
I’m a Canadian. One time I thought I broke my ankle and went to the hospital. I forgot my entire wallet, so I couldn’t give the hospital clerks any ID or insurance cards. They fixed me anyways and I didn’t pay for it. It turned out to only be a nasty sprain, but that’s besides the point. If you need help, they’ll help you. Even if you don’t have proof of insurance or even citizenship. I’ve never been or heard of anyone ever being turned away from a hospital or doctor for monetary reasons. But still try to find insurance, because you never know if maybe you’ll get that one dipshit clerk who is a cheap asshole and doesn’t care about other human beings.
