All the more reason…

I ran across this article today that continues to prove our point, further validating the need for LIVING BENEFITS. The first paragraph says it all:

“Bankruptcies resulting from unpaid medical bills will affect nearly 2 million people this year-making health care the No. 1 cause of such filings, and outpacing bankruptcies due to credit-card bills or unpaid mortgages, according to new data. And even having health insurance doesn’t buffer consumers against financial hardship.”

As you know, most Americans are living without ample savings – and a lot are living paycheck to paycheck. When these families are struck with an unexpected illness such as a heart attack, stroke, or cancer, it can cause a serious financial hardship…even if they have health insurance. The average annual income in the United States is $50,000 – and most health insurance policies carry at least a $5,000 or $10,000 out of pocket max that will easily be reached when suffering from a critical illness. On top of that, any one of these illnesses will undoubtedly result in an absence from work for an extended period of time – causing the loss of valuable income at a time when they are experiencing increased expenses. This combination of out-of-pocket healthcare costs, loss of income, and mounting household expenses come together to form the perfect storm that is one of the leading causes of millions of bankruptcies.
