Combat a Health Crisis Cash Crunch With Critical Illness Insurance1
Lost income ought to be the least of your worries when you suffer serious illness or injury. Instead, your sole priority should be a speedy recovery. But the unfortunate reality is that your monthly bills must be paid, even if you’re unable to work.
Health insurance helps offset the high cost of hospitalization, but it doesn’t cover all out-of-pocket medical bills, let alone personal expenses like your mortgage, your car payment or your groceries. Did you know an average family’s income can drop by $12,000 a year following cancer, heart attack or stroke?2 A medical crisis can quickly cut deep into your savings.
