How Important is Critical Illness Coverage?
Every year in Canada:
• 1 in 2 people are diagnosed with cancer
• 70,000 heart attacks; one every 7 minutes
• 62,000 Canadians suffer a stroke
• 4000 new cases of MS are diagnosed
Statistically, you’re more likely to suffer from a critical illness than you are to die before the age of 75.
