There's nothing in the actual policy that limits the medical repatriation coverage. I don't know about you, but I prefer that someone throwing around hyperbolic and scintillating terms like "scam" support their claim with evidence.

It's possible that the binder the insurance company emailed to him indicated $5,000. If so, it's possible that was a typo. It's also possible it was some sort of scam. (Although I don't think it would be all that hard to find a lawyer to take the case of a consumer who was induced to purchase insurance with the promise of a $50,000 limit only to be emailed a confirmation for $5,000.) I just happen to think it's irresponsible to flippantly use terms like that. But clearly a lot of participants on this board disagree.
