I’m 64. I advised Saga that I’d recently undergone treatment for an Ocular Melanoma (90-95% success rate), but instead of possibly increasing the cost of our (my wife and I) yearly cover, they s completely cancelled it leaving us without cover and with holidays coming up. Worse than that as the cover is only 2 months old,…
