    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    Don't rely on phoning to cancel, also write and confirm your cancellation of the policy (use a signed for delivery service).

    Be prepared for cancellation charges.

    If you mean is there anything you get do to get back the 8 months of payments - the answer is no.
