Financial Protection Against High Medical Costs

This is a benefit that can replace lost income, pay for medical treatment, or pay off your mortgage when a significant illness comes your way” quoting through Wealth Arki. He emphasizes that the price of critical illness coverage now manages future medical costs without draining the savings that one has.
Income Replacement During Recovery
