問題文
You are a college student going to study in the US and need travel insurance.You find this review of an insurance plan written by a female international student who studied in the US for six months.
There are many things to consider before traveling abroad: pack appropriate clothes,prepare your travel expenses,and don’t forget medication ( if necessary).Also,you should purchase travel insurance.
When I studied at Fairville University in California,I bought travel insurance from TravSafer International.I signed up online in less than 15 minutes and was immediately covered.They accept any form of payment,usually on a monthly basis.There were three plans.All plans include a one−time health check−up.
The Premium Plan is $100/month.The plan provides 24−hour medical support through a smartphone app and telephone service.Immediate financial support will be authorized if you need to stay in a hospital.
The Standard Plan worked best for me.It had the 24−hour telephone assistance and included a weekly email with tips for staying healthy in a foreign country.It wasn’t cheap: $75/month.However,it was nice to get the optional 15% discount because I paid for six months of coverage in advance.
If your budget is limited,you can choose the Economy Plan,which is $25/month.It has the 24−hour telephone support like the other plans but only covers emergency care.Also,they can arrange a taxi to a hospital at a reduced cost if considered necessary by the support center.
I never got sick or hurt,so I thought it was a waste of money to get insurance.Then my friend from Brazil broke his leg while playing soccer and had to spend a few days in a hospital.He had chosen the Premium Plan and it covered everything! I realized how important insurance is―you know that you will be supported when you are in trouble.
The writer’s opinion of her chosen plan is that( 14 ).
