Medical care has become so expensive that any visitor falling ill in the US, Canada or Europe, or needing hospitalization, will have great difficulty in meeting the costs. No one knows when they will fall ill or become bed ridden or suffer from major diseases or have accidents which require hospital stay. And for all these people it is necessary to have medical insurance. It can be a temporary one, covering the period of their stay in the US.

Old parents come to the US to visit their children. If the children are green card holders, the parents may stay for six months and during this period, some old age related illness may affect them. There have been cases where an old father had a heart attack when on a visit. Because he had health insurance cover, his children did not feel the pinch; otherwise all their savings would have gone into settling the medical bills.

The US Department of Health gives information on this topic and it also offers free visitor health insurance quotes. Plans offer benefits to cover inpatient hospital, outpatient doctors office visit, surgery and prescription drug expenses. Before entering US the potential visitor can look health insurance up the website for facilities, benefits and premiums on this. There are several non US citizens who have visited the US and have had health insurance cover to help them. The website is user friendly and is efficient. One can choose the health insurance seller and buy the most appropriate one which can have great benefits with relatively less premium.
