Critical illness insurance, why get it?

Did you know that only 15% of Canadians feel financially “very prepared” if they get too sick to go to work!

We all think about our future, have dreams and things we want to accomplish. We also know and often see that life takes unexpected turns and suddenly all our goals are put on hold. Unfortunately, the road to recovery can sometimes be long and costly. The last thing we need to worry about is our finances!

Have you asked yourself the following questions? "If I am diagnosed with cancer today, what do I have in place to make sure we have enough funds to continue on paying for my/our current lifestyle? The cost of additional expenses like covering my spouse's income because they have to help or take care of me, or drugs not covered, private care etc.? Am I willing to diminish some or all of my savings, RRSP's or possibly sell my home?"

Only 15% said they feel “very prepared” financially if they get too sick to report for work. Twenty-one per cent (21%) said they are “not at all ready” should they ever find themselves too sick. Twenty-two per cent (22%) said they would not be able to financially deal with a prolonged sickness.
