Yourwellness Magazine Investigates Life Insurance for Cancer Survivors
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 4 July 2013 -- According to the new study “Recession Led To A Decline In Out-Of-Pocket Spending For Children With Special Health Care Needs”, published in the June issue of the journal Health Affairs, the belt tightening triggered by the recent recession appears to have forced families to make tough choices about care for children with chronic physical or emotion problems. In the years leading up to the recession, out-of-pocket expenses climbed steadily for all family members – children and adults alike. But in 2007, the trend lines changed. In families with special needs kids, adults pared their own medical bills by an average of about $65 during each year of the recession.
Christina Bethell, professor of paediatrics at Oregon Health and Science University, in Portland, commented that this is a concern, as "what we are seeing is a slight increase in the prevalence of kids that have special health care needs and an increasing trend toward those involving emotional, behavioral and mental health problems, including things like autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, depression and anxiety. We know that the health care system is the weakest in those areas" (http://healthfinder.gov/News/Article/677017/recession-forced-cutbacks-in-care-for-special-needs-kids-study).
With this in mind, Yourwellness Magazine reported on how life insurance can help with the financial costs of surviving cancer. According to Yourwellness Magazine, “With an increase in cancer survival rates, the prospect of living a full life is a promising one. With medical science serving as the balm to the life-threatening illness that claims the lives of thousands, the chances of dying from it now are becoming significantly less. The survival rates are only climbing upwards…financial protection ensures that no matter what happens, a debt is not left hanging over the heads of the ill.”
Yourwellness Magazine noted that life insurance is one such example of financial cover; where surviving cancer does not have to tow a resulting debt. Yourwellness Magazine explained that a life-cover is a protective film that serves to lessen the stress that cancer patients are already presented with. Yourwellness Magazine reported that maintaining a safety net over the threat of debt can keep cancer sufferers and their loved ones secure by paying just under £30 a month.
