CANCER

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death and disease in the U.S. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that roughly 1.7 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2018 and more than 15 million Americans living today have a cancer history. Not only does cancer take an enormous toll on the health of patients and survivors—it also has a tremendous financial impact. For patients and their families, the costs associated with direct cancer care are staggering. In 2014 cancer patients paid nearly $4 billion out-of-pocket for cancer treatments and that cost rises every year. Be prepared with a cancer protection policy that allows you the ability to focus on getting better and not on the burden of finances.
