Ban travel insurance premium hikes & refusals for people in clinical trials — 926 signatures. Status: closed.
Ban travel insurance companies vastly increasing premiums, or refusal to cover people who partake in clinical trials, which may make it impossible for them to travel without resulting in substantial additional costs.
We would like Government to ban this as there are reports that it is affecting people who are taking part in clinical trials, meaning they are being penalised for helping advance medical science, and treatments. Due to excessive hikes in premiums, some people may not be able to travel, or might withdraw or not take part at all, due to awareness of this occurring. We are concerned about the impact on patients and on clinical trial uptake. We think Parliament needs to step in.
