Insurance Scam

The insurance offered by hotels.com is a complete scam. We had to cancel our trip due to illness, but the illness was did not warrant a doctor's visit. No Doctor's visit, no refund! The insurance only covers a small hand full of events. Purchased the insurance and still out $450! SCAM!
