Will your insurer pay for what the Government won't if you get cancer?

The C word – cancer – none of us want to hear it when we visit the doctor.

We then don't want to hear the N word – no – when we ask whether our health insurance covers the cost of our treatment.

While the number of people hit with this double whammy of expletives is few, some insurers are getting ahead of the game by increasing their cover for cancer treatments not funded by the Government.
