Travel Insurance

Hi all. My husband has been recently diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and heart failure. We would still like to take a holiday this year but are finding that travel insurance prices in the mainstream companies are somewhat prohibitive. Can you recommend some companies to try? Many thanks in advance.

AllClear have been pleasant to deal with (just taking out the policy, not making a claim) Price fairly hefty but on par with any others we looked at. Previous bad experience with Staysure.

Good luck, hope you have a great holiday!
