I think we all should take an insurence for Cancer also, as it is so common and the treatment is so expensive now-a days. One of my cousin got cancer and it cost Rs.20 lakh for her complete treatment. Still doctors do not garendee complete cure.

You are right, cancer treatment is very, very expensive. As with any medical care, there are absolutely no guarantees. In the U.S. our health insurance covers cancer treatment as a rule. There may be some cases where treatment may not be covered if the condition was diagnosed before the policy was taken out, but I believe that there are ways to get around this, also. In India does the health insurance exclude cancer care? That would be so wrong; cancer is common, and occurs in all age groups, unfortunately.

Yes in India health insurence exclude cancer. For cancer we have to take some other insurence which will be provided by the Cancer Soceity of India. So we are planning to take one. we should be very carefull in selecting an insurence because every insurence does not cover complete treatment.
