Helping Individuals and Families Meet the Challenges of Funding Lifetime Healthcare
Hurdles to Health
Counting on employers to provide a pension, affordable health insurance and health care is no longer an option. The hurdles to health and financial security are numerous and changing faster than ever before. Living longer, and increased medical procedures means the probability and severity of these "unknowns" increases. We know better preparation can avoid the added stress and expense of an avoidable crisis, but it is difficult knowing where, how and when to start.
The medical delivery and insurance payment framework is complex., and very few people know how to navigate it without help. Increasingly we are responsible for our own and our families' health and care costs. Managing costs requires understanding the options we have, and choices we make at all stages of life. Relying on trusted resources for help is essential, be they caregivers, family, community, medical, financial or legal advisors. Advisors and agents may know their clients face these issues and may know that this is crucial to their business, but don't know how to help or how to start the conversation.
