Apparently. And this'll come as a shock. If you don't tell insurance companies everything they may not pay out....

Now there may be more to it in the program....but that was the headline at the start...

Seems a lot of it is:
Do you have any medical conditions? No.

Then they make a claim and the insurer finds out you're on anti-depressants and in and out of hospital for all sorts.

Apart from one where the sales person deliberately filled out the form wrong. That's really bad.

They do. I was paraphrasing.

You fill out a travel insurance form there's a reason it takes 20 minutes.

Have you had a stroke? Is there a history of x. Have you had y etc etc.
