FCO: Uninsured Brits think UK will pay health bills

Many people travel abroad without insurance and that means if they are injured or fall ill it could be very expensive, it could even be a matter of life and death.

Many don't realise that the Government will not pay their medical bills abroad or pay for repatriation.

I strongly urge everyone to take out comprehensive travel insurance so they can enjoy their holiday without risking their health or their savings.
