Learn About Critical Illness Insurance
The American Association for Critical Illness Insurance is the nation's leading source for information on critical illness protection.
Today 4,000 American men and women will hear the life changing words "you have cancer." Today, 2,100 people just like you will have a heart attack. Today, almost 2,000 people will have a stroke and be rushed to the hospital.
Today thousands of lives will change. Thousands more will change tomorrow ... and the day after ... and the day after that.
Costly illnesses trigger about half of all personal bankruptcies, and most of those who go bankrupt because of medical problems have health insurance, according to a Harvard University study. Even if you have great insurance, you will have to pay insurance deductibles and co-pays. You'll pay for care, medications and alternative treatments that are not covered. Your paycheck will stop or be reduced. You'll still need to pay the rent, the mortgage and everyday expenses. If you are self-employed or own a business, the financial toll can be devastating to everything you worked to create.
Today you can find out more about an affordable way to receive a lump-sum cash benefit upon the diagnosis of a critical illness or condition. Critical illness insurance pays a cash benefit even if you make a full recovery. The immediate cash benefit could be as much as $1 million.
The first critical illness insurance policy was sold in the U.S. in 1996 and today approximately 600,000 Americans have this protection. Our Association was founded to provide consumers with current and unbiased information. For financial professionals, we offer training, marketing and sales information and tools. There is a wealth of information on our organization's website. If you have specific questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
Today is a good day to get the information you need to protect tomorrow.
The American Association for Critical Illness Insurance is the national organization exclusively focused on educating consumers and professionals.

What Does Critical Illness Insurance Cost?
This is one of the questions we are asked most and the short answer is, "it varies" based on your age when you apply, you health when you apply, whether you are a man or woman and whether you use tobacco products.
We have several pages in our Consumer Information Center that talk about how much critical illness insurance protection you should consider and a page that even offers cost-ranges for critical illness insurance protection.
Many financial experts will advise that you consider coverage equal to 2 or 3 years of mortgage payments + any credit card balances you may want to pay off. That's a good plan of coverage that will provide great peace of mind at a time when you want to focus on your recovery and not your bills.
