I think Final Words is asking about traveler's insurance. It is available
at all airports, and most life insurance companies. AAA also offers short
term insurance for travelers.
Typically, traveler's insurance covers accident, sickness, personal
liability, and evacuation or search/rescue (for extra $$).
About 3 years ago, I was able to get it through Allstate for a trip through
Canada. It was treated as a rider to our home/car insurance for a specific
term, in our case 3 months, and we paid a one-time fee (about $90 for the
two of us).
Hope this helps,
