Life and Health Insurance

No one wants to consider the worst-case scenario, but being prepared is what Life Insurance is all about. It’s making sure that your family and children are provided for in the event that something does happen. It’s ensuring that your mortgage is covered or that your partner won’t have to struggle during his/her retirement years. 

At Abraham Insurance, we take the time to actually listen to our clients and understand what it is that they want and need from a comprehensive Life Insurance policy. Looking at your current income, any relevant financial assets, and anticipated expenses, we can develop a plan that is right for you and your loved ones.

Life Insurance 

It’s never too early to start thinking about creating a Life Insurance policy devised to accommodate you and your family’s needs should something happen. Our specialists can walk you through the process, make suggestions, and help with any questions or concerns. 

• Mortgage Repayment: If something does happen, knowing that your family can keep the home and consequently will not have to struggle with payments certainly gives all involved peace of mind.
   
• Retirement Funds: Your partner and/or spouse should not have to struggle in their golden years. Life Insurance policies can make sure they have the retirement income they need.
   
• Funeral Expenses: A comprehensive policy can help cover all related funeral/burial costs.
   
• Daily Expenses: In the event of the worst happening, your family still needs to be able to survive and pay monthly bills, credit cards, and basic living expenses. We can design a policy with these things in mind. 

 

Health Insurance

With a highly effective public health care system in place, many find that in emergency situations their needs are sufficiently covered. However, what happens when a non-emergency situation arises, or when your child needs a doctor to treat his/her illness? Ideally, you want to be able to go to a physician of your choice, without having to wait in endless lines.

Health Insurance enables you and your family to get treated by some of the best doctors in your region, exactly when you need to. Getting seen immediately versus having to wait on a public list, can have a huge impact on your health and subsequent recovery. Perhaps no insurance plan is more important in terms of giving you peace of mind than a comprehensive Health Insurance policy. 

• Prescription Costs: While some medicines may be subsidised, some and/or portions of some may not be. This is where a Health Insurance plan can help cover the cost of the prescription needed.
   
• Medical Expenses: A Health Insurance policy enables you to see the doctor of your choice when you need to see a surgeon or specialist as well as providing unlimited medical procedures
