A woman whose sister is on the line for an $8,000 medical bill after shattering her ankle on a cruise ship’s dance floor is warning other passengers to buy medical insurance, according to reporting from The Daily Mail.
The sisters were traveling from Queensland to New South Wales on a P&O cruise ship, a British cruise line, when one of them dislocated and fractured her ankle. The two were told the injured sister would not be covered by Medicare even though they were traveling domestically and were in Australian waters at the time of the incident.
“Don’t play Russian roulette with your health and safety, get insurance,” one sister wrote in a social media post to warn other passengers. “We don’t leave home without it.”
