In Europe you typically have travel insurance on debit cards as well.

What? Where? I don't believe this to be common, and have some doubts about this existing anywhere at all.

Certainly not the case in Sweden. Although travel insurance is usually included in your home/renters insurance.

It's usually not tied to the debit card, but plenty of banks offer ad-hoc travel insurance as part of an options package with their checking accounts.
