Critical Illness: The Alarming Statistics You Need to Know

Do you know someone who has had a heart attack, a stroke, or been diagnosed with cancer in the last 2 years? Chances are your answer is, “yes.” If you were able to answer “no” consider these staggering statistics:

• Every 21 seconds someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with cancer

• Every 25 seconds someone in the U.S. will suffer from a coronary event

• Every 40 seconds someone in the U.S. will suffer a stroke

The Risks of Not Being Insured

Did you know that more than 60% of bankruptcies are medically related? Did you also know that the majority of those affected had major medical health insurance coverage? We pay for life insurance to take care of our family when we die, but how do we deal with the financial burdens of fighting and defeating a critical illness? Because of medical advances, surviving a critical illness, such as cancer, heart attack or stroke today is more likely than ever—but can come with financial costs and uncertainty.

Critical Illness Insurance pays a lump sum benefit upon the initial confirmed diagnosis of a covered illness or medical procedure. The cash benefit is paid directly to you – to use any way you choose. This lump sum payment can be used for any purpose including paying bills, paying off a mortgage, for special care and treatment, and for lifestyle, occupation or habitat modifications – even if you make a full recovery.

What would the money mean to you? It is peace of mind you simply can not put a price on. To find out more about this great product.
