Gym teacher's decision to purchase insurance at age 48 saved his life

In 2013, physical education teacher Arun Rosiah was 48 years old. He realized he was getting old and bought life insurance. Eight years prior, while in excellent physical shape, he had canceled all his policies. This decision, however, turned out to be one of the best of his life, as two years later he was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer.

The benefits of the policy helped cover his medical expenses and supported him during treatment when he was unable to work. The payments also helped him transition from full-time to part-time work.

During his medical treatment, his wife, also a teacher, reduced her workload in half to care for her husband. “Although my wife still had a job, cutting her workload meant cutting her finances. At this point, the insurance policy turned out to be very useful,” says the teacher.

Today Arun Rosiah celebrates his eighth year of remission. However, for people like him, additional protection is especially important, since relapses and complications can occur at any time.

“More insurance coverage is the best thing you can do for yourself. Cancer gave me a new chance at life, my only mistake was not getting a policy with higher coverage when I was young,” says Mr. Arun Rosiah.
