Good Returns caught up with Lindsay earlier this week as he was starting to receive the first chemotherapy dose of the most aggressive treatment option, he was offered to treat stage four pancreatic cancer.

While Lindsay is determinedly optimistic about his own prospects, it's perhaps characteristic of him that he took a lesson from his own experience about the best health insurance coverage to have if you're unfortunate enough to end up in his position.

In a post on LinkedIn, Lindsay noted that the cost over four weeks of oncologist consultations and various diagnostic tests had amounted to about $8,000.

He had coverage for specialists and tests so his policy covered these costs.
