Critical Illness: the crucial cover that Singaporeans most desperately lack
According to national Protection Gap Study 2017, Singaporeans are only covered for 20% of their Critical Illness needs*. But what's stopping them from getting ample coverage?
"My other insurance plans probably already offer this coverage"
Think that Critical Illness coverage is part of your hospitalisation or long-term care plans? These are actually different plans that serve different needs.
"I'm young and healthy; I'll never be afflicted with a Critical Illness"
You can continue to gamble on your health, but truth is, Critical Illness can strike anyone, anytime, even if you don’t have a family history of such illnesses.
"It's costly and not an immediate need, so I'll consider it later"
This is one of the misconceptions about Critical Illness plans – but premiums are actually lower the younger you start. So why not take advantage of youth?
*Working adults have inadequate cover if critical illness strikes, says study, The Straits Times (26 April 2018)
