    No... you'd need an Income Protection insurance for that potential.... I'm assuming by "house insurance" you mean the one that covers you if there's a fire/flood/break-in/damage.

    Can you claim what? I think that you are seriously pushing the definition of Home Insurance here.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    If, by sick, you mean you've thrown up over carpet/furniture staining them then possibly. If you have accidential damage cover then you probably can but it depends on the specific policy wording

    I don't think this is a spam post as they don't seem to be plugging anything - at least from what I can see.

    If this post is genuine, though, it may be an example of insurance policyholders being just as bad as insurers themselves in terms of how each other is treated.
