Dear April Medibroker Friend

Welcome to your April 2011 edition of the April Medibroker Newsletter where you will find the latest news, views and expatriate insurance providers features.

Expat News - Bank deposit and savings compensation schemes vary widely for expats it is not as clear-cut as it might be despite the compensation limited being equalised at the beginning of the year

Research shows that the amount of compensation paid in the event that a bank fails varies widely across the globe with the United States having the best deposit protection scheme while countries like Bahrain are much lower.

Expats need to remain on their toes over savings compensation rights, despite the higher €100,000 deposit compensation limit now in force in all European Economic Area (EEA) member states.  

Also in the news a recent article in the Telegraph, Expatriates living in Australia might soon find that they are following the locals and looking for health insurance, triggered by long waits for state hospital treatment.
