Washington National Insurance Co.Our Strengths
• Currently serve 2 million supplemental health insurance policy owners and nearly 5 million customers across America.
• Protecting American families for more than 30 years.• Already returned more than $250 million through
premium-back feature.• Never raised rates on an existing supplement policyholder.
According to the American Cancer Society (2004 facts):
Cancer is affecting more people• Men have a little less than 1-in-2 lifetime risk of developing
cancer.• Women have a little more than 1-in-3 lifetime risk.• 3 out of 4 families will be affected by cancer.• Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children
between ages 1 and 14.• The relative contribution from the environment toward cancer
risk is about 80-90%.
According to the American Heart Association (2003 facts):Heart Disease and Stroke are always in the newsThey are affecting more people…Heart attacks affected as many as 1.1 million Americans
in 2000.Almost 700,000 Americans will experience a new or
recurrent stroke each year.and playing no favoritesOver one-third of all heart attacks occur in people
under the age of 65.Strokes are a leading cause of serious disability; 53% of
all stroke victims are women.Nearly two-thirds of people who had heart attacks in
2000 were men.
GOOD NEWS!!Cancer is treated by surgery, radiation, chemicals,
hormones and immunotherapy. The 5-year relative survival rate of those diagnosed with
cancer is 63%.50%-70% of stroke survivors regain independence.One-third of the 1.1 million heart attack victims in 2000
made a complete recovery.88% of heart attack survivors under the age of 65 can return
to work.
However,Advanced treatments may be expensive, and the cost of
travel and related expenses can be enormous. Your savings and your family’s financial independence might not survive your cancer and heart treatments!
66% of the total cost of cancer treatments and more than 40% of the total cost of heart treatments are non-medical in nature and consequently, may not be paid by major medical insurance.
Fighting Cancer and Heart/Stroke Can Be Very Costly
Major medical insurance is designed to take care of the doctor and hospital bills, but it seldom pays for everything.
Many times a hospital stay for cancer, heart disease, heart attack, or a stroke can have a significant impact on a family’s finances.
There are two basic costs associated with these illnesses:• Medical Expenses—covered by medical insurance • Non-Medical Expenses—out of pocket
Loss of Income Living Expenses Transportation & Lodging Eating Out Long Distance Special Foods Child Care Insurance Shortfalls (deductibles, co-payments, benefit
limitations)
Everyone’s financial puzzle will look different. But the
Solutions Cancer & The Pulse Protection
can help you fill many of the gaps in your major medical plan and help you solve the financial
puzzle that cancer and heart disease, heart attack and stroke may cause.
