Living Benefits

Many people simply are not prepared for a chronic, critical, or terminal illness. They think that just because they have a health insurance or disability plan, they’ll be sufficiently covered in case of a sudden or serious health problem, such as a heart attack, stroke, or cancer diagnosis. The fact is that’s probably not true.
