A Cancer Policy
Which Can Include Hospital Intensive Care
Cancer
- The Disease
Cancer is an exceptional disease. It
is often fatal if ignored. It also shows no favorites,
striking old and young alike. It
strikes women and men with similar frequency. In fact,
the American Cancer Society reports:
- One of two men and one of
three women will contract cancer in their lifetimes.
- It is the number-two cause
of death among all Americans.
- In the U.S., I of every 4
deaths is from cancer.
Cancer
- The Cost
Because it strikes so frequently, and
because it is often fatal if ignored, cancer consumes
enormous healthcare dollars. The National Institutes of
Health estimate overall annual costs for cancer at $107
billion; $37 billion for direct medical costs, $11 billion
for indirect morbidity costs (cost of lost productivity
due to illness), and $59 billion for indirect mortality
cost of lost productivity due to premature death). Indirect
costs may include: - Lost income. - Housekeeping expenses.
- Child-care expenses. - Long-distance telephone calls.
- Special diets. - Special clothes and prostheses. - Transportation
costs. - Meals and lodging away from home.
Why Our Provider Series

cancer strikes, it is a comfort to know that another fund
source is available, generated from benefit payments made
by The Provider Series. These dollars can be
the "rainy-day" fund necessary to help a family
through the financial burdens of cancer.
