HEALTHY! (Importance of International Health Insurance)
WARREN, N.J., Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 70% of Americans surveyed
said their greatest concern when traveling is suffering a medical emergency
(e.g., broken bones, heart attack, other sudden or serious injury or
illness), according to a nationwide survey sponsored by the Chubb Group of
Insurance Companies. The survey of 1,585 people, conducted this month by
Impulse Research of Los Angeles, found that the concern regarding a medical
emergency (73.5%) is more than double the fear of being mugged (30.7%),
three times the fear of being injured in a terrorist attack (23.4%) and 10
times the fear of being sexually assaulted (7.6%) or being abducted (7.2%).
More than half the respondents (55.3%) are most concerned about incurring a
serious injury while traveling. Nearly one-third (32.5%) are worried about
serious illness, and 12.2% fear a heart attack or stroke. Nearly 13% have
required hospitalization while traveling, and more than 15% of survey
participants have had to cut a trip short for a medical reason.
An overwhelming 92.4% of those surveyed said that if they experienced a
medical emergency while traveling overseas, they would want the option of
transferring to a U.S. or other advanced medical facility.
