“Magkano ba talaga ang kailangan mo pag nagkasakit ka nang malala?”
Doctors on Threads agree: ₱1.5M to ₱5M minimum ang safe fund for critical illnesses like cancer, stroke, dialysis.
One story: 4 days in ICU = ₱2M bill. Out-of-pocket pa yung therapies after.
Another point: If it leads to disability, add the cost of a caregiver + loss of income. Mas mahal pa sa maintenance meds.
And here’s the truth most of us ignore when we’re young and healthy:
Hindi mo malalaman kung kelan, pero alam mo na magkano.
Yung 20-something ka ngayon na malakas, yan ang best time to get covered. Mas mura, mas madali ma-approve. Habang naghihintay ka, tumataas ang presyo at tumataas din ang risk.
Health insurance with critical illness coverage ≠ HMO.
HMO = pang check-up, admission.
Critical illness coverage = lump sum cash pag na-diagnose ka. Pambayad sa gamot, therapy, caregiver, OR pang-hold ng buhay mo habang nagpapagaling ka nang hindi kinakaladkad ang ipon ng pamilya.
To the youth: Start early. Even ₱2k-₱5k/month can give you millions in coverage later.
Your future self will thank you for not making your savings and your family pay for something you could have insured.
Save this. Share it to a friend who says “batang-bata pa ako para dyan.”
