Every Veterans Day, we honor the men and women who served our country. Their service reminds us of the importance of protecting the people and things we value most.
For many of us, that starts at home.
You work hard to build a life for yourself and your family. But an unexpected health event can quickly change your plans — and your budget. That’s why preparing for the unexpected can be another way to help protect what’s close to your heart.
A Heart Attack Can Happen Without Warning
Heart attacks are more common than many people realize. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 805,000 people in the U.S. have a heart attack each year. About 605,000 of those are first heart attacks.
A heart attack can bring more than health concerns. While you focus on getting better, everyday expenses don’t stop. There may also be additional costs that put more pressure on your household budget.
Kemper Life First Occurrence Heart Attack Insurance provides a cash benefit following a first heart attack. That money can provide added financial support when you and your family may need it most. It’s more protection for the life you’re living.
Know Your Family Heart History
Does heart disease run in your family? It’s worth knowing. The American Heart Association says both heart disease and some of its risk factors are strongly linked to family history. Having parents or other close relatives with heart disease can increase your own risk.
Knowing your family health history can help you talk with your doctor about your risk and the steps you can take to protect your health. If heart disease runs in your family, you may also want to think about whether added financial protection makes sense for your household.
More Ways to Prepare for the Unexpected
A heart attack isn’t the only unexpected event that can affect a family. Kemper Life offers other added protection insurance options that can supplement your life insurance coverage:
Kemper Life Accident Insurance provides cash benefits following certain covered accidental injuries and events.
Kemper Life First Occurrence Cancer Insurance provides a benefit following the first diagnosis of certain covered cancers.
Together with First Occurrence Heart Attack Insurance, these products offer families additional ways to prepare for some of life’s unforeseen challenges.
This Veterans Day, we honor those who served and protected our country. It’s also a meaningful time to think about protecting the people that are close to your heart.
