Back to the earlier true or false question – everyone needs medical coverage for the unexpected emergencies and medical help. This is especially important today, when medical care can be costly and unplanned for. Meanwhile, critical illness provides an extra cover of protection for 36 most common and critical illnesses, and helps to address other possible financial needs you may have through the lump sum payout. For example, if you are unable to work because of the illness, the payout can be used as your income replacement during that time of recovery.

Which coverage you choose for yourself and your loved ones, depends on what you are looking to protect yourself from.
