We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Examine the high cost of Travel Insurance for cancer patients. More details
Submitted by Dr Carl Stonier of National Conference of Cancer Self Help Groups – Deadline to sign up by: 14 July 2009 – Signatures: 142
More details from petition creator
The National Conference of Cancer Self Help Groups (NCCSHG Reg. Charity 328634) believes that the cost of travel insurance for Cancer Patients does not fairly represent the risk posed to the insurance companies. We believe that the insurance companies are unfairly taking advantage of an already disadvantaged group of people and unreasonably limiting their travel options.
We accept that those undergoing treatment can pose a higher risk, but people who have been clear of symptoms and have not received treatment for many years represent no greater risk than the average traveller and yet have to pay greatly inflated premiums, whilst people who may present a higher risk, eg people with heart conditions, do not.
This high level of excess premium, reduces the freedom of cancer patients to travel and also reduces the possibility of their sharing important time with those closest to them.
We petition the Prime Minister to initiate a study into the setting of travel insurance premiums for cancer patients and to take appropriate action on the results of the study.
Dr Carl Stonier, Secretary, NCCSHG
