Question

are surviving critical illness

Certainly, the good news is that, despite the
fact that facing a critical illness can be frightening,
more and more people are surviving these
days thanks to medical breakthroughs.
Consider these numbers:
Cancer

Maybe you can relate to Jen,* P.Eng., 2007.
She's an established civil engineer, loves her job,
loves her two children, and she and her partner are
grateful for their health.
Or maybe you can relate to Matthew,* P.Eng., 1996.
He's an established chemical engineer, loves his job,
loves his daughter, and he's grateful for his recovery
from a stroke. Unfortunately, his wife was recently
diagnosed with breast cancer.
Matthew and his family have had a tough time,
while Jen and her family have been lucky. But that
doesn't mean Jen's family is immune to critical illness
- which is why it's important to be prepared.

But what about the

financial cost?

Survival is priceless. However, many cancer
patients spend over $20,000 on various
costs during their treatment.7 And consider the
lost wages suffered by the more than 400,000
Canadians who live with long-term disability
due to stroke.6

a covered life-threatening condition, to help in any
way you choose. You and your spouse may apply
for benefit amounts between $25,000 and
$1 million. Choose one of two plans to cover
either 6 or 18 conditions.
