For my May 2014 to South Africa, is a short term membership with Global Rescue advisable?

Kind of comforting that they will come get you anywhere anytime if something should go wrong.

Medical for the wife and I ain't too bad, about the price of an impala. Throw in the insurrection insurance, and it gets a little pricey. I think if I was in Cameroon, CAR or Zim, I would for sure get that insurance. RSA?

But as I type this, I recall that last year most people thought Egypt was safe until the riots began and then the lucky people were able to call 1-800-Global Rescue and were evacuated promptly. Could be worth it, just in case the country falls apart because Mandela has died.

Or should I just get international health insurance?

First time I have ever done this, and I aim to have no regrets.
