When the diagnosis speaks of a terminal illness, energy drains out with a sense of helplessness. More so when you are the earning member. Work becomes the only source of relaxation to drive away the thoughts of an impending doom. There are certain diseases with varying degrees of recovery resulting in strain and stress on patients. For them, work is the leveler promising normalcy and support from colleagues to carry on gamely. Your suffering acts as a catalyst. This is where health insurance lends a helping hand.

Health is wealth
Do not get surprised to know that many of the City Council men were unaware of the new scheme for employee insurance proposed to be introduced in HOBART.

In all it will fit if we say that health insurance is not recognized as it should have been.
