Cancer Life Insurance In Australia
In 2010, Cancer claimed the lives of more than 40,000 Australians.
This makes cancer the most lethal disease in Australia today. As many as 50% of men and 33% of women will suffer from one form of cancer in their lifetime. These statistics indicate that the likelihood of someone close to you being diagnosed with cancer are quite high.
The emotional and financial burden associated with this can often be devastatingly high. Due to advances in modern medicine, the survival rates and treatments for cancer have improved drastically over the last 10-20 years.
With Australian’s being more aware than ever of how cancer might present itself, early detection has been pivotal in driving these increased survival rates. Unfortunately, the costs and time off work involved with many cancer treatments can be extremely cumbersome on a family. Treatments often cost $10’000’s (even after health insurance contributes) and family members could see themselves facing months off work while they care for their loved ones. Cancer life insurance can help relieve some of this burden during this stressful time.
