Nothing but the best...you and your family deserve it. According to the American Cancer Society, one out of every two men and one out of every three women in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.* Fortunately, advances in cancer treatment are saving more lives than ever before. With these advances in care, however, come rising health care costs. There are hospital expenses, specialists' fees, prescription drugs, surgery, day and night nursing care, therapists and more. Even if your basic health insurance policy covers you for cancer, you may be required to pay a copayment for medical expenses.
