I recently returned from a trip to the US and Canada. I didn’t buy travel insurance because I figured I was covered, having used my Platinum credit card to buy the ticket. Was I just plain lucky nothing happened to me during my trip? Did I take unnecessary risks? Is my Platinum card medical cover really equivalent to a travel insurance?

"Trip" Ubezpieczenia i "Podró?" Ubezpieczenia s? dwie ró?ne rzeczy, niekoniecznie i nie obejmuje kosztów leczenia. Ogólnie rzecz bior?c, wycieczka na ubezpieczenia karty kredytowej obejmuje m.in. gdy lot zostanie odwo?any, je?li baga? jest stracone, wszystko si? zdarzy?, ?e na wycieczk? do ?rubowe it up, ale niekoniecznie dla Ciebie. Ubezpieczenia podró?nego zwykle oznacza to samo, ale mo?e mie? dodatkowe korzy?ci dla Ciebie, podró?nik. Rzeczywiste podró?nego ubezpieczenia medycznego jest dost?pna za po?rednictwem ró?nych ?róde?, z których wiele mo?na znale?? w Internecie. Do miejsc takich jak Kanada, nie koniecznie potrzebny jest obszerny kwota ubezpieczenia kanadyjskich szpitalach s? godne (i wszyscy b?d? mówi? po angielsku). Mam pe?n? zdobyty medevac ubezpieczenia podró?nego na wycieczki do Afryki i Azji, które gwarantuj?, ?e lataj? do pa?stwa, je?li wymagaj? hospitalizacji. Kosztów ubezpieczenia za 275 dolarów rocznie.

This assumes you mean a Platinum American Express Card.
You were probably just lucky. Travel medical insurance is NOT automatic when you buy an airline ticket with the card.
However, AMEX does sell travel medical insurance and you can purchase it per trip or get an annual policy. Just call the toll free number on the back of the card.
