I am a single mom with 2 kids and I work as an accountant. Why would I need critical illness insurance?

As a single parent with 2 children, I am certain that your daily routine is quite busy.  Between your career, running the household, and kids activities, there is probably not a lot of spare time! Imagine the impact that a serious illness such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke could have on that routine.

Critical Illness insurance can provide you with the peace of mind and flexibility to be able to control your treatment and recovery process.  It can provide the money required to pay for alternative treatments or procedures not covered by your basic medical or extended health plans, as well as the many indirect costs that need to be considered such as childcare, accommodation, and transportation to and from medical facilities.

Another concern is the recovery and rehabilitation period.  Should getting back to work in order to be able to pay the bills be your first priority?  Or would you prefer to have the flexibility to take the proper time and care to ensure that you are truly ready to get back to your normal day to day life.

Consider the following:

• Do you know anyone that has suffered from cancer, heart attack, stroke, or other life threatening illness?
• Did they plan on it happening to them?
• Were there unplanned emotional or financial stresses on their family or business?
• Would cash have helped?
