<dc:description xml:lang="es">Sumario: Prior to the early 90s, when government health insurance paid for most out-of-country medical emergencies, private travel insurance was a niche business, covering mainly incidental costs like hospital TV and phone charges, room upgrades, and private nursing if necessary.
