Having informed my free-with-my-bank-account travel insurers (AXA via Lloyds) about my heart attack, I am no longer covered for any future heart problems and they won't quote me for cover. We will only be travelling to Spain and if the worst happens, I'll just recuperate at our villa as we're both retired, so I only really wanted to put my wife's mind at rest and cover the very unlikely scenario of repatriation. Ignoring the fact that the blood pressure/anticoagulant/statin medication make it less likely that I have an event now, I have spent most of the day filling in online questionnaires, ringing around answering the same questions and getting similar answers: You can't have a subset of the one-size-fits-all policy, annual cover is declined or ridiculously expensive (£500-£1000) and 3 weeks cover is £200+. I eventually came across some names I had not heard of before on a Which site and I've managed to get annual cover with Blue Bear for just over £100.
