Hey, my house burned down yesterday, so I need some home owners insurance.

Hey, I was diagnosed with cancer yesterday, I need to add a rider to my health insurance policy.

Hey, I died yesterday, I need some term life insurance.

The subject doesn't change the logic and it's not personal.

As TJ said, a house burning down and death are both discrete events that don't have ongoing costs.  The cost of a cancer diagnosis is totally open ended, as is the timeframe for it to be resolved (either with remission, hopefully, or, sadly, death). Could be three months. Could be 10 years.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
