Critical Illness Insurance:
Funding at a Critical Time
Getting news that you have cancer or need an organ transplant can be heartbreaking. The bad news is, critical illness can happen to anyone, and just when you might least expect it. In fact, a critical illness such as a heart attack or cancer, strikes one in five men and one in four women before the age of 65.
The good news is, with today’s medical advances, you have a reasonable chance of surviving the critical illness or even recovering from it.
However, if you are not prepared for a critical illness, you will soon realize the havoc it will wreak on your finances. Even with health insurance on the side, there still are expenses that will not be covered. And if your illness is critical enough, you may even max out on the limits of your health insurance policy. Also, your critical illness may prevent you from going to work. And while all these is happening, there are still bills to pay, mortgages or rental payments to meet and your family’s everyday expenses to think about.
This is where critical illness insurance can come in. Once you are diagnosed with a covered illness, you will receive the lump sum stated in the policy.
You can actually spend the lump sum however you like. You can use it to:
- Fund your treatments and recovery
- Pay for in-house care
- Modify and equip your home and vehicle with adaptive medical devices
- Pay for hired help for housekeeping or to help out in your business
- Repay loans (particularly your mortgage)
- Take care of your family’s daily needs (the grocery bills, utilities, etc.)
- Go on your dream trip around the world
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Critical illness can give you much-needed funds at a critical time. This will free you from worrying about making ends meet and allow you to concentrate on your recovery.
To protect yourself and your family, save up to 35%, please fill the critical illness cover + life insurance form on the right now.
