Premiums do rise with age — but far less steeply than most guides claim, and the wrong plan can still void a $100k claim. Based on the InsurVibe engine sampling 6 Canadian travel insurers, a 65-year-old USA trip of 7 days runs $41-51, annual multi-trip plans $251-360 from the cheapest carrier.

TuGo, Manulife Travel, and Blue Cross (Pacific Blue Cross for BC) are top-rated for Canadian seniors. All three offer stable pre-existing condition coverage up to age 85+ with no medical exam. Avoid generic online "cheap" plans — they often deny claims for the conditions that matter most.
For a 65-year-old, USA 7 days runs $41-51 depending on carrier; 14 days $82-101. Above 65 the curve is a gentle step, not a cliff — each 5-year band adds roughly 1.3-1.7x. 80+ travelers pay about $150-166 for a 7-day USA trip.
Only if you declare them at application AND the condition has been "stable" (no medication/treatment changes) for 90-180 days before departure. Most senior plans have a separate "pre-existing condition" rider with its own deductible.
It depends on trip count and length. At 70-74 a single 14-day USA trip runs $119-138, while an annual 15-day-cap plan runs $365-424 — so three two-week trips roughly break even and four beat it. Annual wins at 3+ trips a year, or when you need long per-trip caps.
Standard exclusions: pre-existing conditions not declared, travel against medical advice, alcohol/drug-related incidents, extreme sports, and trips booked after a terminal diagnosis. Some plans exclude certain destinations — check the policy for country-specific limitations.
