The Cost Of Saving A Life

The Cost Of Saving A Life...

A recent article in the newspaper talked about the high cost of undergoing medical treatments to save lives.

David and Jennifer Webster's son, Matthew,  was diagnosed with a rare cancer and they did not think twice about spending their life savings, cashing in their superannuation and mortgaging the family home to get him the treatment he needed.
"After all, broke is better than heartbroken"

Matthew underwent various cycles of Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy that failed, but then his parents found a German clinic that specialised in his type of cancer.
They mortgaged their house, cashed in superannuation and have estimated that the treatment has cost them $800,000.
But it doesn't stop there.... Matthew will have to have continual ongoing treatment to survive...

The cost of saving one's life is a huge burden on the family.

QUESTION:   If you had to decide to continue the cost of your treatment knowing that you would leave your family in debt if you died... would you continue the treatment???

As in the article, one man decided not to continue treatment because he didn't want to leave his wife and family penniless...  HE DIED!!

TRAUMA INSURANCE CAN PAY OUT A LUMP SUM SO YOU CAN GET THE TREATMENT WITHOUT HAVING TO MAKE THAT CHOICE...
