Travel Insurance for Canadians

It's me again with another newbie question.

Policies we have found offer maximum coverages of $1 million and $5
million.

I realize that risk assessment is a personal choice, but, how realistic is a
medical bill over $1 million for relatively young seniors (65 & 67) in
normal health with no existing conditions staying in the States for 6
months?

On a scale from 1 (not much chance) to 10 (a very probable possibility)

I wouldn't go to the US for six months with only $1,000,000 coverage. It can
cost you several thousand dollars just in emergency never mind being
admitted. I don't go to the states even for lunch (something I do quite
often, living only 40km from the border) without adequate medical coverage.

Uh, the question posed was not whether to have a fire extinguisher,
but how big a fire extinguisher to get.

Probably very low. How likely are you to be in the hospital in Canada
for any extended time? The problem is that if you do end up needing
medical care the USA is "very" expensive.

Personally I would not skimp.
