Life Insurance with living benefits
Living benefits exist to provide financial support if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness, chronic illness or require long-term care.
Though no one likes to believe that a serious illness could happen to them, the truth is that it’s fairly common. For instance, close to 40% of people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. And research from the American Society of Clinical Oncology finds that treatment could cost around $20,000 to 30,000 a year, about half of the average annual U.S. household income.
There is also a 70% chance that the average 65-year-old will need long-term care services, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
