Cancer insurance pays for the costs associated with cancer regardless of whether you have health insurance. If you have health insurance it will pay in addition to anything your health insurance pays. Likewise, if you don't have health insurance, cancer insurance still pays the same benefits.

Cancer insurance pays extensive benefits for hospital stays, leukemia and chemotherapy treatments, as well as check-ups and other wellness exams, such as mammograms, pap smears, and more. These exams are important and can help prevent cancer and related illnesses. 

Regardless of your family history of cancer or whether you smoke, you are still most likely eligible for cancer insurance. Cancer insurance is also available for family coverage.
