CANCERGUARD – non-medical critical illness insurance

Let’s check what statistics say:

• According to Canadian Cancer Society, 1 in 2 Canadians will develop cancer during their lifetime.
• According to Canadian Breast Cancer Network, 1 in 5 people diagnosed with cancer still need to work because of their precarious financial situation.
• $65,000 is the average price for a round of treatments with new medications, says Canadian Cancer Society. Even with private supplemental health insurance, you may have to pay up to 20% of the cost of medications, and costs may be capped at an annual maximum that would be quickly reached.

 Scary facts, aren’t they? And no one is immune to cancer or its impact.
