Rejected petition Stop holiday isurance companies ripping off the aged also pre-med conditions
People live longer and are fitter, all other insurance is not based on age or health. It is an excuse to boost profits and reject claims.
They are discriminating due to age and also those that have any sort of medical condition present or passed.
After 10yrs no medical claim. A clean sheet again.
More details
Today's elderly are no more vulnerable than the younger generation going on holiday. The older generation will not get in a drunken unconscious state, or be high on drugs.
For example; on a ship or in an hotel out of say, 3,000 elderly people, you may have one or two that may require medical attention. On that 1 or 2 week holiday the insurance profit made is madness.
The older generation are subsidising all other insurance applicants, this is ageist and against those with any medical condition.
