Consumers Are Not Prepared for a Critical Illness
Ninety percent of middle-income Americans say they are not financially prepared for a critical illness diagnosis, according to a study by the Washington National Institute for Wellness Solutions. The study surveyed 1,001 Americans ages 30 to 66 with annual household incomes of $35,000 to $99,999. The following statistics reveal that many have little, if any, savings to fall back on in the event of a critical illness: • 75% have less than $20,000. • 50% have less than $2,000. • 25% have no savings.
To pay for out-of-pocket critical illness costs, middle-income Americans say they would need to use credit cards (28%) or loans from family/friends (23%) or financial institutions (19%). Another 23% don’t know what resources they could use to pay their expenses. Millennials and Gen Xers anticipate greater reliance on credit cards and loans to pay for critical illness expenses. Thirty-eight percent say they might never recover financially from a battle with cancer and 45% believe they would never recover financially from an Alzheimer’s/dementia diagnosis.
Eighty-eight percent of middle-income Americans have had no conversations with loved ones or advisers about potential care-giving options and 60% have not discussed financial planning for critical illness. Only 12% have explored care-giving options.
