Let's Get To The Heart Of The Matter

With this month being February, we wanted to talk about a few matters of the heart, specifically – heart disease and heart-related issues. The Government of Canada’s website notes that heart disease is the second leading cause of death in our country, with 12 Canadians diagnosed with it each hour. Men are also two times more likely to suffer a heart attack than women and are often diagnosed 10 years younger than women are (between ages 55 and 64). While there are lifestyle changes that can reduce your risk of contracting heart disease, sometimes other factors, such as genetics, can lead an otherwise healthy individual to be diagnosed with one of these conditions.

With all this information tugging on your heartstrings, there’s never been a better time to contact Broker Plus Insurance for your Critical Illness coverage. We have various products to suit every client's needs, including No Medical products for clients who have a history of health conditions that may lead to decline with other companies. As Critical Illness policies are paid out as a lump sum, it will not affect any other benefits you may receive, such as employment insurance for sickness leave.

Don't forget about the kids! Parents often overlook children's needs for insurance. Critical Illness Riders can be added to our Term Life policies for as little as $5 a month for all children to be insured under one of our life policies for $10,000.00 in coverage or $10 a month can gain $20,000.00 in coverage. As with all Critical Life Policies, the payment will be made in a one-time lump sum should the child survive the condition's waiting period noted on the policy.

Contact us today for more information about the benefits of having a Critical Illness policy in place. Our stress-free, no-obligation, and no-pressure approach to insurance will make your heart sing!
