Sources of Funds During a Critical Illness

What Sources of Funds May Be Available to Help You Financially Survive a Critical Illness?
Health Care Insurance:  While health care insurance will cover a portion of the direct costs associated with a critical illness, these plans typically require payment of deductibles, coinsurance and/or co-pays, which can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more in out-of-pocket costs to you before the plan provides 100% coverage.  If you elect out-of-network care from a specialist or nationally-recognized hospital, you may face significant additional expense, plus the cost of travel and lodging. In addition, indirect expenses associated with recuperating from a critical illness, such as modifications to a home or vehicle, child care expenses and convalescent care, may not be covered.  It is important for you to know what your health care plan will and will not cover before a critical illness strikes.

Disability Income Insurance:  Disability income insurance benefits typically replace a portion of your income if you are sick or hurt and unable to work.  If you are covered by disability income insurance, you need to know the answers to questions such as these:

  • How long must you be disabled before benefits begin?
  • How much is the benefit you will receive?
  • For how long will the benefit be payable?
Social Security Benefits:  Assuming that you qualify, Social Security disability benefits do not begin until the sixth full month of disability and are generally not adequate to replace your earning power.

Savings and Investments:  A single critical illness could consume the assets you’ve worked a lifetime to accumulate.

Ask yourself…if you suffered a critical illness and were out of commission for three to six months, would you be able to survive financially? If the answer is no, contact my office...we may be able to help.


MESSAGES from the Masters...
LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY by Jim Rohn

Somebody said you have to love what you do, but that's not necessarily true. What is true is that you have to love the opportunity. The opportunity to build life, future, health, success and fortune. Knocking on someone's door may not be something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what might be behind that door.

For example, a guy says, "I'm digging ditches. Should I love digging ditches?" The answer is, "No, you don't have to love digging ditches, but if it is your first entry onto the ladder of success, you say, 'I'm glad somebody gave me the opportunity to dig ditches and I'm going to do it so well, I won't be here long.'"

You can be inspired by having found something even though you are making mistakes in the beginning and even though it is a little distasteful taking on a new discipline that you haven't learned before. You don't have to love it, you just have to learn to appreciate America, appreciate opportunity and appreciate the person who brought you the good news; who found you.

Appreciate the person who believed in you before you believed in yourself, appreciate the person who said, "Hey, if I can do it, you can do it."

If you will embrace the disciplines associated with the new opportunity you will soon find that your self-confidence starts to grow, that you go from being a skeptic to being a believer.  And soon when you go out person to person, talking to people, you will find it to be the most thrilling opportunity in the world. Every person you meet - what could it be? Unlimited!  Maybe a friend for life. The next person could be an open door to retiring. The next person could be a colleague for years to come.  It's big time stuff. And sometimes in the beginning when we are just getting started we don't always see how big it is.

So, before you are tempted to give up or get discouraged, remember all success is based on long term commitment, faith, discipline, attitude and a few stepping stones along the way.  You might not like the stone you are on right now, but it's sure to be one of the stones that lead to great opportunities in the future.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
