“People need insurance not only because they are going to die, but because they are going to live.” – Dr. Marius Barnard.

Dr. Barnard is a South African cardiac surgeon who helped perform the first successful heart transplant. He recognized that his patients, whose lives were saved by surgery and medical advances, often saw their life savings depleted by expenses related to their illnesses.  Their lifestyles totally shattered because of lack of funds.
