To follow up on an earlier discussion about the advisability of travel and/or health insurance......
Everyone's needs are different, of course, but I found when I purchased my airline ticket on Expedia that they offered an insurance package for US$42 that provided the standard travel insurance (airfare and baggage loss) and just the sort of health coverage I was looking for, especially medical and evacuation coverage. I like the fact that it covers the cost of flying someone over to visit me if I'm in the hospital for more than a week.
Some may find it a useful option. And it's comforting to know there's money to ship one's body home, though calling it "repatriation" is peculiar.

An addendum based on discussion below. I had to enter my date of birth in the course of purchasing my ticket, so the system knew my age was 66. I don't see any age-related exclusions.
