Someone I know bought Medjet insurance in the US before a trip to Argentina. Unfortunately they had to use it while there for a major emergency which included flying someone home to the US. They said it was excellent and highly recommended it.

I use STA Travel insurance. Bought some today -- $100.00 for 22 days.

I have an ongoing scheme which covers my first 45 days of travel per year - it's a very cheap option here in Finland at €44 a year, if you compare that to Scancho's $5 a day. (Sorry Sancho!)

The same kind of deal might well be available in the US.
