Cancer, Heart Attack & Stroke Insurance

KEY POINT: To begin with, underwriting does not ask family history or hold it against the applicant and does not use zip code ratings which is especially important given Cancer clusters!
​
When someone receives a cancer diagnosis or suffers a heart attack or stroke, the last thing they need is to worry about how to pay their bills. Cancer, heart attack and stroke insurance is designed to provide lump-sum cash benefits that can be used for medical and non-medical expenses so a person can focus on getting well instead of how much it cost to survive!
