This thread is certainly helping.  What worried me most was @Sheryl's doubts, as she is undoubtedly the board expert on healthcare matters and her reservation was about the company's long-term financial viability.  In the end, I took my broker's advice and signed up, but there is certainly a risk in choosing a relatively new player in the market. Time will tell.

So does healthcare matters expert = insurance expert?

Looked at the website, no details of policy cover or costs. How much would cover cost for a 70 year old?

I expect the online quote is just indicative, based on age.  Actual quotes no doubt depend on the individual's particular circumstances.
