Thanks for this pointer too. I used to subscribe to DAN as I am a diver,
but have let this slide in the past years. However, the policies do
include Medical Evacuation. If anyone is interested, I saved my comparison
spreadsheet as a web page and posted it on my web site at

http://www.geoffschultz.org/Intl_Medical_Insurance.htm

Note that it's a bit cryptic, but it gives you a comparison of policies
(and it's amazing to see how much less medical insurance costs outside of
the US.)

A useful policy is the D.A.N or Divers Assistance Network offer. Two
parts. The first covers diving related medical needs something not
always covered by other policies. This includes decompression
chambers and the like. The second covers world wide medevac for any
injury or illness. This covers getting you back to the home area
where your standard policy will be useful. In '97 it was, memory
serving, about $70 a year. Not sure what the current cost may be.

Diver or not the second half is well worth it.
