How Health Impacts Financial Well-being
$424,635 is the average amount a healthy 65-year old couple retiring today can expect to pay for healthcare.1
In 2020, the average annual cost for an employee buying family healthcare coverage was over $5,500 and likely to increase every year.2
Why heart health matters
Cardiovascular disease, which will affect nearly 50% of all adults in America at some point in their lives,3 is the most expensive disease.4
With the right planning 80% of these conditions are preventable.5
