But will your finances survive?

Serious illness inevitably has a significant emotional and physical impact. However, many people are unaware of the heavy financial burden of serious illness.

You may feel that the provincial health care system will meet all your needs should you become seriously ill. Unfortuately, there are many additional costs associated with serious illness that are not covered by this system and that you must pay for yourself. Examples include loss of income from taking time off work or costly treatment that is often not covered by insurance. Nursing care, child care expenses, the purshase of specialized equipment, etc, are not on the list of products and services covered by the public health system. These additional expenses and loss of income as the result of extended leave may have a significant impact on your personal finances. You may have to use your life savnings to cover these costs.  

Plan for the unexpected at a critical time in your life
