  2. Why Cancer and Heart/Stroke coverage? • More than 1.6 million U.S. residents will be diagnosed with cancer this year (American Cancer Society, Facts and Figures 2012) • Somebody in the U.S. has a heart attack every 34 seconds (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Heart Disease Fact Sheet, 2010) • Medical bills cause more than 60% of U.S. bankruptcies (American Journal of Medicine, 2009) Assurant Supplemental Coverage

  3. Why Cancer and Heart/Stroke coverage? • Even with the best medical insurance, a life-threatening illness is costly for clients; • Medical plan expenses can easily go into five figures • Lengthy illness can mean loss of work time and/or wages • Household bills continue to hit mailboxes • Treatments may not be covered by medical insurance • Cancer and Heart/Stroke coverage provides $CASH$ when it’s most needed – upon diagnosis Assurant Supplemental Coverage

  4. Simple Integration/Standalone flexibility • Integrate these plans with just one click — one-stop shopping for you and your customers with Assurant Health! • Add Cancer and Heart/Stroke in a simple process • Two specific questions for cancer • Four specific questions for heart/stroke • Sell standalone with same great rates! Same simple process • Plan pays a lump-sum cash benefit upon life-threatening diagnosis – before financial burdens hit home • Plan pays cash benefits per covered person • Children can be covered (so long as accompanied by at least 1 adult) Assurant Supplemental Coverage

  5. Simple, Flexible and Right-priced • Simple • Easy to understand plan design and underwriting process • Flexible • Clients choose coverage for cancer only, heart/stroke only, or both • Underwriting is separate; i.e., clients can buy Heart/Stroke plan even if they’ve had cancer • Plan pays regardless of any other coverage in force • Affordable • Clients choose a benefit level ($10,000 to $75,000/covered person) to suit their needs and budget • Same rate for any number of children – excellent for families!
