Cost of illness: an online ressource for dealing with the financial consequences of a serious illness
What would you do if you had a serious illness or accident and could not work for a while?
Despite the public health care system, dealing with a serious illness always has financial consequences.
The "Costs of Illness" project has created a bilingual website to help people assess the financial impact of a critical illness and learn ways to protect themselves based on their situation.
31% of Quebec workers would not be able to meet their financial obligations if their pay was late, according to the Canadian Payroll Association. - Costs of Illness (2021). Home Page. https://costofillness.org/
On the site, you will discover:
1. Your level of financial preparedness in the event of a serious illness; 
2. Solutions tailored to your job;
3. How to manage the financial impact of a critical illness or accident;
4. All the useful information and resources for you or your caregivers.
