As for ECI, it only covers 10 conditions which may not be adequate. It would be advisable to look at getting your own personal insurance when it comes to ECI coverage. For example, Manulife's ECI covers 105 Different conditions across early, intermediate and late stages.
Having said so, there is no one size fits all to financial planning, and it all boils down to needs and budget.
