He has been in Thailand on holiday for three weeks visiting friends but took out no travel insurance for the trip. The hospital he is currently at does not provide the treatment that he needs. http://www.borehamwoodtimes.co.uk/news/ ... h/?ref=rss

Why? I can understand a young penniless backpacker who is traveling for an extended period risking being uninsured, it goes with the stupidity of youth. But for a mature father of six who is on a short holiday risking it, and putting all his family at financial risk for just a few pounds!
