Should I Get Cancer Insurance?
Cancer insurance can make sense as a supplement when you have a high-deductible health plan, limited savings, or elevated risk and need help covering non-medical costs during treatment. It is usually a poor substitute for comprehensive health insurance and may be unnecessary if you already have strong coverage, disability protection, and an emergency fund. Weigh the policy’s exclusions, waiting periods, and total cost against alternatives like an HSA or critical illness coverage.
