    The 90-day Rule

    The last travel insurance policy I bought was a year-long policy with United HealthCare. I bought the policy in February, 2020. Not one of my smarter purchases. Between then and now, I have apparently aged up into a much riskier demographic. Once you hit 70, coverage decreases and prices...
