Going critical
It's been a while since we've had a substantive post on Critical Illness insurance policies. Briefly, these are plans that pay a cash benefit directly to you should you suffer a covered condition (heart attack, stroke, cancer, that kind of thing). These pay in addition to any health and disability policies you may already own, and can be a real (financial) life saver.
They're available as stand-alone plans, or as riders to either life or health insurance policies. They pay a lump sum (typically multiples of $10,000), and are usually tax-free (yay!).

■ Every 40 seconds, *someone* in the US has a stroke
■ By the end of this decade, over 700,000 Americans will suffer end-stage kidney disease
