The Baby Boomer Generation is getting ready to retire, and with the extra time and cash will come more travel. We are more active than any retiring generation in history, more willing to get out and travel - and frankly we have to consider that we might have greater medical needs than younger travelers.
Baby Boomers need to understand that most private and government medical coverage is not good or severely limited outside of the United States. Some travel insurance companies limit the amount of coverage depending on the travelers age so you need to shop around to find travel insurance that is suitable for the kind of vacation you are taking. Pre-existing medical conditions can also effect the travel insurance policy coverage.
Many things can go wrong even before leaving for your trip, any one of them can cause you to cancel and lose your non-refundable trip payments. This can easily cost thousands of dollars, unless you purchase trip cancellation coverages. This insurance can cover cancellation due to an illness, accident, death in the family, or even a home fire. Trip cancellation coverage costs more than just medical coverage, but the extra premium can save you thousands of dollars.
