“You need a critical illness insurance policy not because you are going to die, but because you are going to survive.”- Dr. Marius Barnard
An Unusual Beginning
Influence of the Doctor’s Design
• You, the insured person, suffer a critical illness or undergo a procedure that meets the terms of the insurance policy.
• The insurance company pays you the benefit.
• You decide how the money can best help you.
Who Do You Know…who has been diagnosed with heart attack, cancer or stroke?
Did any of them plan on getting a critical illness?
“The Big Three”
CancerEvery 21 seconds, someone in the U.S.
is diagnosed with cancer. 1
Heart AttackEvery 25 seconds, someone in the U.S.
will have a coronary event. 2
StrokeEvery 40 seconds, someone in the U.S.
suffers a stroke. 2

spouse

• Experimental treatment
• Child care and domestic assistance• Transportation and lodging for
family members and caregivers during treatment
Health Insurance Coverage
• Brakes plus an airbag Should there be significantly more relief, less
deductibles, co-pays and maximums if it’s cancer?
• Consider raising your deductibles Funded by critical illness insurance, if a covered
illness or condition.
• Remember the COMFORTS Spouse’s time off, hotel during treatment, plane
tickets, nanny, etc.
Life Insurance - Why?
• If a major illness or accident were to take your life, you would want to insure your family, right?
• What if it did not take your life? Would you have a different goal?
• You may be around to see the outcome…
Life Insurance: Goal?
• Why did you buy life insurance? Not because you thought you would
need it
• Because it would have been irresponsible or burdensome not to have it

illness?
