If you are simply traveling in those countries for a few days?

I've had numerous holidays in Greece and Turkey and never had to show proof of insurance. Is this something new in the past 12 months, maybe due to financial crisis?

I have read on some sites that it is and some that say it isn't.

I have been to Macedonia about 6 times and have never been asked to show proof of insurance. Of course, I had insurance for every trip. However, my last trip to Macedonia was last summer, so perhaps things have changed?

If you are a citizen of an EU member sate, get an EHIC for travel to Bulgaria. It will cover basic medical treatment. For Macedonia you need private cover. It would not hurt to get some for BG too.
