Dream vacation turns into nightmare: Traveller spends days in coma, then slapped with $147,000 medical bil
An Ontario man's dream Mexico vacation became a $147,000 medical nightmare after a severe illness, seizures, and coma. His travel insurance claim was denied by Manulife due to a pre-travel "stability period" clause, leaving his family to foot the massive bill despite appeals. The incident raises concerns about travel insurance reliability for Canadians abroad.
