There are four very important facts every American between 35 and 60 needs to think about.

FACT:  Every 30 seconds someone in America will hear the words, ‘you have cancer’ (1).  Every 40 seconds another American will have a heart attack.  And, every 40 seconds another American will have a stroke. (2).  The vast majority will survive.

FACT:  What won’t survive is their savings.  Each year around 750,000 Americans file for bankruptcy.  Two-thirds (66.5%) of people who file for bankruptcy cite medical issues as a key contributor to their financial downfall.  (3).  Amazingly, most of these people have health insurance.

FACT:  Only 40% of Americans have enough saved to cover a $1,000 emergency expense. (4)  Few are prepared for medical expenses not covered by insurance or the loss of income because they need time off from work to deal with a medical matter.
