Going on vacation soon? Check the travel forum before you buy

People will tell you what their experience was and the problems they encountered.

If you have health problems that could become on issue while traveling be sure you will have health coverage while abroad.  Most regular health plans will provide partial or no coverage when you are in another country. If you use Medicare, they do not cover any care outside of the United States.  Don’t assume you can rely on universal health care in countries that have this type of health care coverage for their citizens. Even if they will help with minor health problems they are unlikely to help with ongoing medical expenses or help you to return home early.
