Hi Chris,

        On a related note - this really DID happen to
My wife....

        Several years back her medical insurance was
"(something) Of Alaska." She was at a Dr.'s office and
When the desk clerk asked for her insurance, she gave
Her her card. The desk clerk responded, "Oh, I'm sorry,
We don't take insurance from foreign countries."

        True story, Michael
