Health Security Plus Plan Description
critical illness
All financial planning experts agree that you should set aside a portion of every dollar you earn ... to be used in the event of an emergency, or to cover expected future expenses. This practice of setting aside a percentage of your income is called "paying yourself first" and while it makes good financial sense, many Canadians fail to save the money they want to ... or fail to save at all.
We know that an unexpected illness such as cancer, heart attack or stroke can have devastating emotional consequences. The financial consequences often compound the suffering, as you and your family face the possibility of interrupted income and increased expenses during the recuperation period. These increased expenses can include medicine and prescriptions, travel and accommodation costs, and expenses not covered by provincial health care plans.
We at Unity Life recognize that living with debilitating disease can put a strain on everyone's finances and that is why we developed Health Security Plus. Health Security Plus provides tax-free financial support at a time of medical crisis, thereby easing the stress caused by monetary concerns. Health Security Plus covers Heart Attack, Life Threatening Cancer, Stroke, Paralysis, Kidney Failure, Major Organ Failure on a transplant waiting list.

status. Our plan benefits are intended to help meet the financial implications
of these serious diseases, as they can have a major effect on your lifestyle.
You can take steps now to help deal with the financial uncertainties.
