 Why
Think About Cancer?
There are advanced treatments available to increase your
chance of cancer survival. However, sometimes these advanced
treatments are not available locally, and the cost of
travel, care, and other out-of-pocket expenses can be
overwhelming. Supplemental First Diagnosis Cancer plans pay
money directly to you in cash at one time in one lump
payment. You'll need all the money you can get if you are
diagnosed with cancer.
What are your chances of getting
cancer?1
According to the American Cancer Society, anyone can get
cancer. Since
incidence rises with age, most cases affect adults in
mid-life or older.
How many people are surviving
cancer?
More than 10 million Americans today are
survivors of cancer.2
Fact:
In 2005 the overall cost for cancer was estimated at $209.9
billion. $74 billion (35%) was for medical expenses, but
nearly twice this amount, $135.9 billion (65%), was for
non-medical costs.
Your traditional medical or Medicare coverage may be good,
but will only cover 35% of the costs associated with cancer.
