At which point you present them with a British passport and slap the ingrates with it!
Fool proof method which I've done myself. Insurance costs an arm and a leg, my method only cost an arm which they refused to operate on for some reason.

Totally weren't interested in that when I had my accident. No idea what would have happened if I hadn't been insured
what country was that? hope whatever happened is over now.
edit, just had an email off saga for travel insurance-proof they're spying on you.

Nothing, except as I live there I'll get stuck with the bill
Thought it just covered basic emergency care. Does it cover emergency travel home etc?

You don't need to submit any details, as pre-existing conditions aren't covered under this policy. To better understand please see the definition of pre-existing medical condition in your policy wording.
@STHLM @Boris Bear I picked up stuff from the hospital mate they have a stand in area 4 Chester entrance with all specialist insurers if any good

My mam & dad swore by them & they took care of everything when my mam died on Holiday in Zante. It was her 4th heart attack & not even a hint of trying to wriggle out of it because it was a pre-existing condition.

My mate was working in Florida years ago one of the lads who he took to hospital bleeding badly was made to show who would pay before they even let him in.

Me & the Mrs had been with Staysure for the last 3 years and would have been happy to go with them again (policy was due to renew in early April). BUT, very recently we have both developed suspected conditions but with no formal diagnoses for those conditions until we see our respective specialists in a few months time. When we spoke to Staysure about this not only did they say they would not cover us for these as yet undiagnosed conditions ( fair enough) but nor would they cover us for any of the other previously diagnosed and previously insured ailments either ( not fair enough). They still had the cheek to offer us a quotation for what would be a completely useless policy. And they still sent us the paperwork for it. When I read it through the list of exclusions rendered it a total waste of money.
We’ve since gone via a BIBA listed Sunderland based company - Just Travelcover in Toward Rd - and ended up with a satisfactory policy with AIG. More money but more assurance. Hope this helps a bit.

I,m with admiral £140 year for Europe includes Tunisia and Morocco???? age 70 had valve replacement and type 2 diabetic, l know fat bassa. Was with staysure but wanted 300 quid this year
My parents had travel insurance through the bank account they have.
My old man was diagnosed with prostate cancer and needed radiotherapy, so they cancelled a trip to South Africa and put an insurance claim in.
They heard nothing so my mother rang up and ended up speaking to a supervisor, who stated clearly that they wouldn’t pay out on her part of the claim as she still could have travelled on her own.
It took a year to get resolved and they still ended up not being paid the full amounts due , took the threat of going legal to get the ball rolling and the threat of newspapers and tv to get the payment ,
Ending pissing off a couple in their 80’s with one of them suffering from cancer to reduce the pay out , utterly shameful behaviour.

It is mate. I have a general contempt for all insurers but appreciate they are a necessary evil so I try and scrutinise policies meticulously to try and avoid any potential banana skins. Nevertheless you get the feeling they are often predisposed to decline claims, even those made in good faith.
And while we’re at it, can you think of any other service or product which penalises you when you use it - in insurers cases increasing future premiums because a claim
has been made? It’s a bit like John Lewis asking me for more money as soon as I turn my new telly on.
