The fight against cancer has evolved and so have your choices of available Cancer Insurance through The Tulalip Tribes. Cancer Insurance was designed to help protect individuals and their families from the damage that cancer can do both physically and financially. By paying cash benefits to policyholders. This coverage provided a level of freedom that many major medical insurance companies simply could not. Today, millions of individuals and families are still battling cancer, but the fight has changes in many ways. Advances in pharmaceuticals, surgical procedures, and alternative treatments have improved the odds for those diagnosed with the disease. But with improved treatments, increased costs have arrived as well. You now have choices from AFLAC and Allstate that were designed to address these concerns with new benefits that reflect the new directions in which America's battle against this tenacious foe is headed. You have the ability to choose the coverage that meets your individual needs and budget. Understanding the Risk Despite the best efforts of doctors, researchers, and countless organizations, cancer remains a concern for many individuals and families. People from all walks of life are at risk regardless of age, sex, or ethnic background. Here are a few statistics to help you understand the role cancer plays in America's overall health. According to the American Cancer Society:
Advances in treatment also mean that Americans diagnosed with cancer are living longer than ever. The five year relative survival rate for all cancers combined between 1996 and 2002 is 66%, up from 50% in 1975-77. Although major medical insurance can help with the costs of cancer treatment, you still may have to cover deductibles, co-payments, and co-insurance on your own. Additionally, cancer treatment can necessitate out of pocket expenses that aren't covered by major medical insurance., including travel, food, lodging, long-distance calls, child care, and household help. Meanwhile, living expenses such as car payments, mortgages or rent, and utility bills continue, whether or not you are able to work. If a family member has to stop working to take care of you, the loss of income may be doubled. By paying cash benefits directly to you, unless you choose otherwise, Cancer Insurance allows you the freedom to use your benefits as you see fit, helping you with the financial consequences of cancer that may not be covered by major medical insurance. |
