Default travel insurance is worse than motorcycle insurance

I have been trying to organise an annual policy as I have two hols booked and the wife 3.

Absolutely crazy quotes (When they will quote) simply because I have hypertension which is medicate normal and the wife has

Breast cancer 2.5 years ago, primary biliary cirrhosis, auto immune hepatitis, endochondromatosis, and hypothyroidism.

Most companies will not touch us. some are silly £400+

now one has come up with £130, covers all me, but excludes all the wife's existing complaints, non of which are likely to put her back into hospital during a holiday. Can anyone recommend an insurance company that covers decrepid old women?

There are a few that advertise on daytime telly on channels like Hallmark that claim to cover people, even if they're falling to bits. Can't remember any of their names though as, thankfully, I don't watch telly at that time of the day very often.

Shall have a natter to my mum tonight. My dad has a very uninsurable condition and its trying and costly to get insurance to cover it.
Somehow she manages to find somebody, or they wouldn't go on holiday.

I love the Hallmark channel!

Try All Clear, regular advertisers to people with time on their hands in the afternoons.
