Yeah, that's why I can't understand people spending thousands on a First class ticket, but not having any insurance to cover them if the worst happens.

On a similar note, how are people covered for illness or injuries when they travel abroad without insurance? If you travel to the US, and need any sort of treatment, it could bankrupt you if you didn't have any cover.
