Cancer can strike anyone at any time regardless of lifestyle, yet too many people lack the cancer insurance coverage they need to help pay the costs associated with the treatment it may require. If there is good news, the good news is that it's no longer an automatic death sentence.

But while you're likely to live, you're also likely to be broke without Cancer Insurance. Medical insurance helps reduce the hefty treatment costs, but most plans don't cover all the expenses related to treatment nor drugs. Based on the American Association for Critical Illness Insurance (AACII), every day roughly 4,000 American men and women are told they have cancer, And according to a Harvard University study published in The American Journal of Medicine in 2009, costly illnesses trigger about half of all personal bankruptcies.

Most of those who go bankrupt because of medical problems have health insurance. many people are surprised to learn that their existing medical insurance doesn't cover the full financial costs associated with cancer. Cancer survival rates have dramatically increased. Not because of new drugs and modern medical discoveries, but because people are smoking less, Divine intervention and people are being more educated on early detection.

That's the good news. The bad news is: all of the good news, all of the hope, is about to be thrown out of the window with the projected high rates of cancer-based upon the rates of obesity in the USA. In addition to the financial burden of heart disease, cancer from obesity will have to be factored in also.
