Cuba visitors face new medical insurance rule
30.04.10
Canadians travelling to Cuba will be required to present proof of health insurance to enter the country as of Saturday.
To meet the requirement, travellers should have travel insurance that covers medical expenses, the Cuban government said.
"Upon arrival, travellers may be required to present an insurance policy, insurance certificate, or medical assistance card valid for the period of their stay in Cuba," Foreign Affairs says in its travel report for the country.
"Those who do not have proof of insurance coverage may be required to obtain health insurance from a Cuban insurance company when they arrive."
Provincial health insurance plans do not provide direct coverage for out-of-country emergency medical services.
Supplemental health insurance urged
Provincial plans may cover only part of the costs and will not pay the bill up front as Cuba requires, Foreign Affairs noted.
"It is therefore recommended that travellers purchase supplemental health insurance," the department said.

New Canadian Blog Spotlight
There have been a number of new blogs on the Canadian scene over the last little while so I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of them and perhaps give them a tiny bit more exposure.
Money Energy
Money Energy is written by Clare, who is a grad student currently living in the US. She is a self-taught DIY investor with a focus on dividend growth. Here is why she started the blog:

This blog is written by Ray and here’s what he had to say:
I have always been very interested in the financial markets and financial planning, my other passion has psychology and human behaviour and I’ve always enjoyed helping people. A few years ago I realized that I can do both as a Financial Advisor, so worked as an advisor for a while selling mutual funds, insurance products stocks etc…to clients and helped them with their financial goals. Eventually realized that the what’s in the client’s best interest is not always in my best financial interest, felt that there was too much conflict of interest and decided that there maybe better ways to help people. When I realized the conflict of interest I turned to blogging where I can provide information for free with no conflicts of interest. The purpose of the blog is to provide relevant and up to date financial information to readers, most topics are around financial planning (insurance planning, budgeting etc) however I also cover other personal finance topics I think maybe relevant to readers such as understanding credit scores and savings tips etc.
