October is Critical Illness Awareness Month. Reflect on someone in your life that has been diagnosed with cancer or suffered a heart attack or stroke. Remember those who you lost and those that are still with you today. We’ve all come to realize that these illnesses can happen to anyone unexpectedly.

Did you know? 1 in 3 people who will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.1

Thankfully, advances in medical science have increased the survival rate for those who develop cancer or experience a heart attack. Still many experience severe mental and emotional damage, but most don’t think about the financial damage that being diagnosed with cancer can have. 

The costs of critical illness like cancer can be devastating. There are two different types of costs to think about, direct costs such as medical bills, and indirect costs such as loss of income, housing payments, living expenses. 

We’ve helped where we can. We’ve donated to GoFundMe pages and the community fundraisers, but the financial burden can still be overwhelming.

That’s why we want you to think ahead. We want you to get protection in the event you are diagnosed with a critical illness. 

Critical illness insurance pays you a lump-sum cash benefit when diagnosed with an illness like cancer. It’s used to help you pay for any out-of-pocket health expenses, covering your home payments, replacing your income, and help with any other living expenses. 

Don’t be caught off guard, protect yourself and those around you. Apply for critical illness insurance today.
