My sister had a heart attack in October 2007, her husband had a severe stroke 6 weeks ago. She mentioned concerns to the nurse (as and when her husband is well again?) as to how much her travel insurance would increase. Nurse replied "you don't need alot of expensive insurance so long as you have the E111, you're covered." Is this correct?
