Obviously something they don't advertise but they don't cover you overseas so no cover.... no use paying.

Not really worth it for 10 days in Bali but it could save you a lot on a long trip.

I did this for a 2 month overseas trip and the cunts at medicare slugged me with a levy for the 2 months I did not have private health cover. The bill came about a year or 2 after the fact so they do catch up with you eventually.

It was a girl at HBF who suggested it, first time I came back I had two attempts to unblock the arterial artery in my right leg without success then they replaced 10" of the artery with a bit of plastic, next time I came back I had 2 stents put in the same artery and never a problem, it's been well over 2 years since the first of the 5 op's I've had on the same artery and it's cost them WELL over $100,000 and me about $300 at a guess.......They must love me

NOT!!!

P.S. Don't smoke as this is what will happen to you too
