We take travel insurance so that cancellation due to illness is covered, medical costs over and above EHIC provision and repatriation if needed. This is different, if searching online, to medical insurance which is just health cover for private medical attention. It is the travel insurance that we feel that we need.

I coud have had 30 days for around £25 but went with a better known name at £32.

I just used www.comparethemarket.com and got annual mutli-trip in Europe for the 3 of us (2 adult + child) for £25 with American Express.... seemed like a pretty good deal. Unfortunately you don't get a meerkat with Travel Insurance.
 
When I fell and broke my arm outside Navarette in May, I had to get a taxi back to the hospital in Logrono. The first thing they asked me was whether or not I had insurance. When I said yes, they asked for my passport, put the info they needed into their system and I was x-rayed and the arm casted without paying anything upfront. Same in Burgos 6 days later when I had to have more x-rays and a new cast applied. I received the accounts last week - €147 from Logrono and €250 from Burgos - and have sent them to the insurance company. If it had been a fractured leg or hip I might've had to be sent home and that would have cost a fortune!
