2. Did You Know?
• Shockingly 1 in 2 men & women will be diagnosed with cancer during their
lifetime.1
• Medical Bankruptcies are increasing
– 1 in 4 cancer patients or their families said they used up all or most of
their savings to pay for treatment. (Kaiser Family Foundation and
Harvard School of Public Health studies.)
– Of the 2.2 million Americans who experienced medical bankruptcy in
2001, nearly 76% had insurance at the beginning of the illness.2
• Insured’s out-of-pocket exposure is increasing
• Survival rates are increasing due to medical breakthroughs
