One in two Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime. About 1.6 million Canadians currently have heart disease or are living with the effects of a stroke. These statistics from the Public Health Agency of Canada can be sobering, but a new poll found that Canadians aren’t preparing themselves to deal with these and other illnesses.

“The good news is that thanks to medical advancements, many people are surviving critical illnesses and living longer, fulfilling lives with their families. “But recovering from a serious illness can be expensive and other forms of insurance may leave a gap in your coverage. Critical illness insurance is designed to fill this gap and reduce the impact that an illness has on a family’s overall financial health.”

“No one plans to get sick, but it’s important to ensure your family is covered in the event that something unexpected happens. Everyone’s situation is different, so it’s important to speak to an expert at Tannas Insurance so that we can recommend a policy that works for you and your family.”
