Cancer, Heart Attack & Stroke Coverage: Why It Matters—Even If You're Healthy Today

No one expects it—but nearly every family is affected.

You eat healthy. You stay active. You’re doing your best. But cancer doesn’t care about your lifestyle. Heart attacks don’t wait for the perfect time. Strokes show up without warning.

These aren’t just statistics—they’re real-life emergencies that can shake everything.

At Mere, we’ve walked alongside friends and family in these moments. We know what it’s like to sit in a hospital room asking, “Will they be okay?” and then quietly wondering, “How are we going to afford this?”

That’s why we offer simple, affordable protection that helps you stay financially standing—no matter what happens.

Medical insurance covers treatment. But what about everything else?

Even with a good plan, most people face unexpected costs like:

• Deductibles and copays

• Out-of-network specialists

• Travel to treatment centers

• Time off work or caregiving needs

• Childcare or household support

• Mortgage, food, and utilities

That’s where supplemental coverage steps in— providing a lump-sum cash benefit when you need it most.

Let’s Look at the Numbers:

• 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will develop cancer in their lifetime

• Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the U.S.—often without symptoms

• Stroke is the #5 cause of death and a leading cause of disability

• The average person diagnosed with cancer loses over $10,000 in income in the first year

• 77% of cancers are diagnosed in people age 55 or older—but younger adults and even children are not immune

• These illnesses do not discriminate—not by age, race, income, or lifestyle

Here’s the Plan:

1. Schedule a no-pressure consultation with our team

2. We’ll explain how this type of coverage works in plain English

3. You choose the right amount of coverage for your needs and budget

4. If something happens, you get paid directly—no questions, no delays

This isn’t about fear—it’s about preparation.

You hope you’ll never need it. But if you do, you’ll be glad you took action.

At Mere, we believe in helping families stay strong—financially, emotionally, and physically—through life’s hardest moments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this insurance or just an add-on?

This is supplemental insurance that pays you cash if you're diagnosed with cancer or have a heart attack or stroke. It works alongside your health insurance, not in place of it.

How can the money be used?

However you need it! Pay your mortgage, travel to a treatment center, cover lost wages, or take time off to recover. There are no restrictions on how the benefit is used.

Is there an age limit or health requirement?

These plans typically require a short health questionnaire. Some offer coverage into your 70s and beyond. Let’s look at what’s available in your area and age group.

Can I get coverage for my spouse or children?

Yes! These plans are available for individuals, couples, or entire families.
