Hi, I will be living and hopefully working in Spain for anything from 6 months to over a year.I am getting the new E111 card thing and am wondering if I should get some kind of medical insurance on top of it. I don't want travel insurance that will cover baggage etc. And actually I'm not really bothered about insurance and have travelled many times outside of Europe without it... but what happens if my luck is over... (which it seems to be lately)Well basically, I have been searching for travel insurance initially but I want something alot cheaper than the £65 I found... plus it might be difficult to change the dates since I don't know when I'll be coming back to England.Is medical insurance generally cheaper than travel insurance? I have applied for a quote from 2 companies but I have to wait until after the weekend for them to call me... which they probably wont.Is it worth getting extra medical coverage other than the e111 card thing which is free anyway! yay!I'll only be living over there, and I don't have insurance in my own country and I've been to more countries that are considered"dangerous"than in europe and I actually feel like I'm more likely to be injured etc in England than anywhere else.The only time I'll come across the british over there is if I spend a few days travelling south to dose up on kebab meat.but I don't think it'll be possible to buy insurance to travelling to"british areas in spain"...I think I've answered my own question actually, I wont get insurance!Does any company offer insurance for day visits to Homerton in london?

The international life and health life insurance can cover the problem but it would be better to have it if you move somewhere else. anything can happen at every time so be ready with it.

hi,
Medical and travel insurance are very much useful. No one say what will happen in the travel. Medical emergency will happen at all time, so it will be very much useful.
