Has anyone ever had the need to use the reciprocal health care agreement?
We are travelling to Italy and Australians can get treated in hospital under this agreement.
I am not planning to take additional insurance , other than Westpac Complimentary which does not cover pandemics.
I am not too worried about cancellation costs - they wouldn’t be covered anyway, and I doubt if we do get the Rona it would be bad enough to require hospitalisation - like any flu we would lay low for a few days and then get on with it.
What’s the worst that could happen??
We are not travelling until September so I will reassess beforehand.
Thoughts ???
