Maybe - but by golly it makes me feel good to say it!!

It is the 'screening' that takes the time once you inform them of a problem, but it IS worth it, as should you fail to own up to everything, should you have some trouble abroad then I have seen cases where the entire insurance gets made null and void. Insurance is always cheaper when you purchase it direct rather than take the travel company offering.

Surely it's up to the individual if they have adequate insurance as well and why then should the TO need to know. I would never travel without insurance which I have through my account at the bank I bank with.

We won't travel without it either, and I take good old Bristol boys comments fully on board, but the percentage of claims Totals, against the money collected is an imbalance into massive profits, which is why I believe that Travel Insurance should pay out to repatriate as a minimum, in the case of severe illness, for whatever reason, whether it is pre-existing or not, after all - no one, unless mentally ill, will travel on a holiday, and be enduring a fatal illness in the final stages! The ones who get ill usually don't expect to do so on holiday!!
But if you feel great, go away, keel over unexpectedly, and if you have a touch of blood pressure or a previous mild heart attack from years ago, you are stuffed and not covered!! Morally wrong, as you can also live for umpteen years afterwards, without a problem!
Thats why I hate MP's and Insurers, far too crafty.

On my policy I think it says if the problem or illness has been treated by the Doctor in the last 12 months then you have to tell them but only then. If not had Doctors treatment then you are ok.
