Talk:Travel insurance

Broken link for US Extenal Links
The link under external references for the US is broken. I believe this link from the same .gov site is the most relative for this topic.

 * That page doesn't provide any specific, useful information that supplements the article. It has a link that points to the page listed in the external links section, which is archived here. It's a list of travel insurance providers. Since the list is of value only if it's up to date, it doesn't make sense to link to the archived version. I found a list [here, on a page that doesn't appear commercial. Is this an appropriate replacement? [[User:Largoplazo|—Largo Plazo]] (talk) 10:10, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Tha link is only for studend only. If you want to change that use almost a generic link of travel state like:

http://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en.html

And link that you recomend on passportsusa site is an comercial site and with obsolete information.

And if you need information about passport you can use this link:

http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports.html


 * I'm sorry, I cannot figure out what your first sentence means. There is no point putting in a link to generic travel information or passport information because the point is to provide supplemental information about travel insurance. By the way, it was inappropriate for to remove the link from my comment, and confusing for you to shove your response above my comment. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:40, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

The current broken link was moved by the state.gov to:

http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/go/health/insurance-providers.html
 * Thanks! —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:40, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Major update
The page was a fairly high priority page and had major issues. I did another page on a similar topic for a uni assignment, and decided I wanted to fix this one. I have removed the template tags for prose (it was originally largely in bullet points) and single-source reference (I have added 20 references and extensive content). I think it is a good restarting off point (thank you to all previous editors for their contributions), but there is still much more to contribute on the subject. Let's try to keep this from being a sales page, or from over-generalising from one nation's experience of the concept. Manlycarrots (talk) 07:37, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
