Great post. I was part of 2 successive global organisation meet ups in the US. My office in Australia encouraged me not to go both times because of the insurance problems. First while I was under treatment and next when I was in remission (NED) from incurable stage 4 appendix cancer. Extremely difficult to get cover (we couldn’t find it) and I wasn’t prepared to go without cover with the risk of self funding any hospital visit in the US. My oncologist helped me decide not to risk it. Australia is a long long way to fly home!!
