선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.
Have you ever considered buying life insurance? To many people in Korea, such as thought was morbid until recently. However, the idea of buying the right to receive money in case of death or disaster has become more prevalent after a couple of national tragedies, for which Korea became dubbed a “collapsing republic.” The increasing number of crimes also fuels this trend. But when it comes to life insurance or cancer insurance a lot of people are still reluctant to buy it. They can’t explain why exactly; they might feel that being insured tempts to inflict death or cancer soon.
I bought a cancer and life insurance. Cancer is still an incurable disease and expensive to treat. Think about your family members. If you were sick, they would have suffer also. They would be financially strained, as well as being bothered by having to take care of you. Insurance can reduce the financial burden and help you maintain a stable mind. Insurance has become a must for anyone living in a dangerous society.
