Do you know someone who has been diagnosed with a critical illness?

Most likely so. Approximately one out of every two men and one out of every three women in Canada have been diagnosed with a heart attack, stroke or cancer. The incidence of life threatening illnesses is increasing each year.

The good news is, advances in medical technology and science have helped people survive life threatening illnesses like never before. Studies have shown that approximately 80% of all stroke and heart attack victims will survive and cancer victims are living longer than before.

What will happen if you become a victim of cancer, stroke or a heart attack? This is an important question to think about. When you survive a critical illness, you may not be able to go back to work immediately. In fact, your expenses could increase significantly as you deal with challenges that critical illnesses may bring such as seeking the best medical treatments and care, meeting day to day responsibilities (such as caring for your family), paying for your mortgage and coping with anxiety and stress. Furthermore, expenses such as private nursing or modifications to your vehicle or home to improve to your functioning are not covered under Ontario Health Insurance Policy (OHIP) and may not be covered by a typical employer group benefits package.

How will you cope with the potentially high cost of recovering from a critical illness?

Research has shown that more and more survivors of critical illnesses are depending on insurance benefits to help them buffer the potentially high cost of recovery. Critical Illness Insurance is a great solution. It provides a lump-sum payment to help support you financially as you focus on what is most important - recovering from your life threatening illness and you could spend this money any way you want.
