Recommendations for a travel health insurance

Hi,

I'm going abroad in a week and don't know much about travel health
insurance; can anyone recommend a reputable company?

We're going to South America and New Zealand, so I'll need coverage in
both places. Total trip time: 2 months.

One company quoted $200 for that time, which sounds reasonable, but
it's the only one I looked at before I decided to try a google
group.

Thanks.

This enquiry should be easy to answer because everybody on this group knows
instinctively which country you live in.

The two major players are SOS and Medex. If you go to the US State Dept web
site, you'll see that both are listed.

The American bit I can understand. It's a reasonable assumption, because
it's always Americans who blithely assume that they're the only ones on
Usenet. But how can you be specific to a particular state when s/he has a
gmail address?
