About Aflac
Ever so often, when calamity strikes in the form of an accident or other illness, along with the trauma of the actual problem, comes the stress of arranging for finances. It comes as a rude shock to many that only around 60% of medical costs is covered by your primary insurance policy and you are left to fend for the remaining 40% of costs, most of which are usually immediate in nature. This holds good for individuals as well as for businesses that have to shoulder the wellbeing of their employees. This is where supplemental insurance becomes necessary.
