It’s a travel advisory from US State Dept, not a ban on travel to Mexico.

Yes, I misstated that, and Americans have continued to travel to Mexico. It's the strongest Level 4 saying Do Not Travel to Mexico.

Insurance is one thing, being treated for the virus in Mexico is another.

Looks like the premium is tied heavily to trip price and not medical. Put in price of trip at 3000 for 2 weeks is $ 226, put in the price of airfare and cheep hotel for 2 weeks of $1500, the premium is $115. Put in just airfare of $700 and the premium is only $80 f7or 2 weeks. I wonder if I can just use the airfare as trip cost and still get the medical benefits?

Put in $0 for trip price and the premium is $41.

Yes.

PS I don't know for a fact about the $0 trip price.

Yes, I believe so. Other claims might be limited.

Haha, when I put my age in, I was afraid it might reject me. Nope, but wow do I pay more than most, and it seems that their rates have increased significantly.

As far as putting in Zero trip cost, my premium went up $20 instead of down as compared to a $500 cost.

Just saw this today...Air Canada is including Covid 19 medical insurance with its vacation packages. Air Canada offers COVID-19 insurance for sun destinations at no extra cost to travellers | National Post That doesn't help me any since I don't book vacation packages as I'm staying at my house...but perhaps one of these insurers will offer something for all travellers...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I may just fly in for a week to pay some bills (since the utilities won't accept Canadian credit cards), even without full insurance, and then come back to self-quarantine for 14 days.
