I have life, disability, car and condo insurance. I believe in having insurance that ideally, as David mentioned, I never need to use. And I would like to have callers insurance. However, it is NOT easy for me to get it. As a Canadian and resident of Canada, even though I'm a CDSS member in good standing, I was not eligible for this insurance when it was covered by Callerlab. The preliminary answer from CDSS (Jeff is currently on vacation) suggests that this has not changed even though the carrier has changed. It's disappointing. I attempted to do some digging here in Canada to see if there was some equivalent coverage when CDSS first told me I wasn't eligible. I got nowhere at the time and gave up. But since I'm calling more and more in the US at bigger events, it does concern me that I could be vulnerable. I'd appreciate it if the Canadian callers on this list that have an interest in pursuing insurance would email me directly. I'm curious to know how many we are. Thanks, Bev
