Cuba, eh?

We're planning a trip to Cuba, next year (to celebrate a wedding).
Aah, but starting May 1, 2010, Cuba requires proof of medical insurance.
(I reckon that's to avoid having tourists arriving to take advantage of Cuba's free medical coverage.)

Alas, the Cuban authorities (so far) haven't clarified what type of coverage is required or what (foreign) companies are "approved".
Cuba does, however, have kiosks in Havana airport where (apparently) you can buy insurance for (about?) $3 /day.

Since Canadians are Cuba's most popular tourist, I'm expecting a personal clarification from Fidel.
