Other insurers would also cover the costs of the service while REGA is not offering much of a guarantee “As a token of appreciation for this support, Rega can, at its own discretion and within the bounds of its resources, waive the costs for the services listed below for patrons, wholly or in part.” | |

It's neither geared towards expats nor intended to pay for travels if someone else back home has a problem and does not address the question. It does seem to cover Swiss people living abroad, though. | |

I think Ben Burns is asking about a policy that repatriates the person abroad if somebody left at home has a serious illness, which is a different situation. This is normal in many travel insurance policies, but the question is whether such coverage is available long-term separately (outside of travel insurance). It probably also needs to be something a US citizen can get. | |
