What country will pay for your health care costs if you get sick when travelling?

My parents live in Canada. They were planning on going to Florida for the winter. Recently, my Dad, who has peripheral artery disease had his medication changed. They won’t be travelling to the States now or for the next six months since he can’t get insurance because of the change of medicine.

Is there a country that you can go to and have free health care if something happens. They couldn’t pay for anything serious. I know it is probably unfair to burdon another country to pay for his possible health care problems, but I am worried that if they don’t get away, my Dad will not do any walking at all, which he needs to do to stay healthy. They live out in the country and it’s really not good to walk on the road in the winter. And a gym is 1/2 an hour a way, even if they would go. A treadmill was already tried and unsuccessful.

Thanks if you have any help.

Nope. None. It is too much of a problem. Such a country would be attracting all the sick people from around the world who would all flock there.

And that’s how travel insurance generally is too. It will cover you for any new illness or accidents you have while on vacations, but they never cover preexisting conditions.
