Mutual insurer Folksam has launched customizable child insurance to combat potential economic pressures, improve coverage for Sweden's youth, fill a protection gap, and provide a financial safety net. Folksam aims to cover accidents and illnesses and provide financial support for children with permanent disabilities. Potentially, over 1.5 million Swedish children lack individual child insurance, leaving them vulnerable to disability income limitations. Some might question the morality of such insurance, asking if it is right to insure children this way. My view is that it makes sense to seek protection. The financial burden of caring for a sick child can be great, and insurance can help provide peace of mind if the unthinkable happens. Folksam ICMIF #insurance https://lnkd.in/eggVzP_w

I’ve recently reconnected with the youths with chronic illnesses whom I had worked with in my first career as a medical social worker. Our conversations broached this subject of how having to ask for financial assistance and having to portray themselves as leading a life consisting only of the basics in order to qualify for financial assistance strip them of whatever is left of their dignity. It was as if they should just be content to survive and not be able to enjoy the pleasures of life not robbed by a lifelong illness—they can’t be seen eating at a fancy restaurant, going on vacations, and so on without being questioned. Hence, this insurance struck me as a solution for such predicament because the costs of chronic illness and disability go beyond purely medication and treatment.
