Absolutely.  But had I become ill in Paris last year (instead of a couple of days before), I would either have spent two months in a Paris hospital (where I know the care would have been excellent, but that would have been really hard on my family) or needed an air ambulance home.  I'm perfectly fit, my condition is stable and I will be able to get insurance, maybe even by September.  I'm just not going to like what it costs!
