Why Do You Need Cancer Insurance?
Cancer is an incredibly common diagnosis; one in two men and one in three women are expected to get some kind of cancer in their lifetime.* Pair this with the every-rising survival rate and the incredibly high cost of treatment, and it’s easy to see why millions of cancer patients end up dealing with the financial toll of their cancer long after the physical toll is over.
Even for those with excellent health insurance, there are still critical gaps that need to be covered, including the costs of:
- Lost income
- Ongoing living expenses
- Health insurance deductibles and copayments
- Home health care services
- Child care services
- Travel to/from treatment
