Jack Perry - Critical Illness Insurance

Jack Perry, son of hall of famer Gaylord Perry of the San Francisco Giants, knows first hand the impact a CI policy can have on a family. Jack was diagnosed with Acute Leukemia just 68 days after getting a physical for his CI policy. After 7 months of chemotherapy he achieved remission only to have the cancer return. Spending nearly every day in the hospital from December 2002 - June 2003, it took the rest of 2003 to recover. He has worked 9 months in the last 2 1/2 years but thanks to the CI benefit check he received, his family has been able to maintain their lifestyle during this difficult time.

Mortgage Insurance - NOT at the bank

As Erica Johnson from CBC Marketplace reports, the bank staffers selling mortgage insurance are unlicensed and rarely trained to explain the details and legalities of those insurance products. The result is people who pay premiums at the bank and think they are covered, only to realize later that they are not. Always purchase mortgage insurance from a Licensed Life Insurance Agent, like me!
