is cancer insurance a scam or is it a good thing to purchase?


i thought of this after i posted, i have a massage client who is a Farmers agent so i emailed her and asked her what she knows about cancer insurance and here is what she said.


It is a legit policy (but your right only if its a legit company) You have to read the fine lines, Cancer policies only cover death/some medical costs by cancer, and they typicaly are very small policies with big premiums.

Doesn't medical insurance cover cancer treatment (not experimental, but proven treatments)?

According to my uncle, who is an expert on volcanoes, a volcano could be coming this way! :D

Usually but I think cancer insurance is a specific supplemental insurance to cover the high costs of long term cancer treatment and extra associated costs that may not be covered by standard insurance.
