and of course if you are staying in eu you are entitled to same health care as
everyonre else ,so you are actually only paying for the BUPA style upgrade.
one should get the correct form from UK for eu healthcare agreement but in fact
it doesnt make any difference.
no where that I have been in Europe has questioned giving me health care ,yes I have
used it.

Pantaenius do a travel insurance for 12 months. they quoted me £525 for two of us with cover of up to 5 million and that included USA, but it is not full health insurance, it is emergency and repatriation.

I use Club Direct (http://www.clubdirect.com/) who provide worldwide health care cover, for cruising periods of up to a year. (Emergency/repatriation basis). Experience not an issue. It cost my partner and I together about £800 per year last time we took it out, a couple of years back. Not had to claim, so can't comment on this.
In the more civilized European countries you might risk no insurance and rely on the E111. We've had emergency health care in France on that basis. Fine, just the same as NHS, no cash needed up front, but we were eventually charged 10% of the total bill.

Just rung Club Direct - they said that I'm too much of a risk!?!? I told them there was more risk crossing Kilburn High Road than living on board a motor boat for a year - but they wouldn't budge. They recommended I contact the Association of British Insurers - I'll let you all know what they say. Thanks all for the information so far - we'll find something!!
