This post is not intended to create fear but to give a transparent view to you of the above statistics and its true costs of your health. This post mainly to give awareness to all my beloved readers the fact of our life surrounding us which we may forget to look into it or simply doesn't bother about it.

The QUESTION is...what had you done to face this reality (i would say its a reality because it can happen to anyone of us)...

What would happen if YOU:

- fell ill or had an accident, injury or were unable to work?

- were diagnosed with critical illness?

- were to die and let others with the burden of debt?

If there is an INSURANCE PLAN which can take care of these medical costs when these unexpected situations happened and ensure that YOU are adequately covered, would YOU be lucky enough then?

So, GET YOURSELF INSURED...
