[pct-l] about insurance"

[Don Fletcher]

Hey to the Canadain who posted the question:  FOR info ... you can buy
suppplemental insurance , from any major Life insurance company in Canada ,
or  from Blue Cross in Canada... for any type of coverage youmight need in
the USA.... It would be supplemental to your provincial
health care program. As a Canadain you are covered while in the US ... but
if oyu are away for more then 181 days you may wish to alert your provincial
program.
