October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month—an annual international health campaign organized to promote awareness of breast cancer issues.
The impact of breast cancer goes beyond just the physical disease and emotional pain—it can be a financial struggle as well. Take a look at the numbers:
-Critical illnesses such as breast cancer can reduce a family’s income by more than $12,000 in the first year alone—even with medical coverage in place.
-Breast cancer patients who have employer-sponsored health insurance spend an average of $6,500 in out-of-pocket costs annually.
-One in five cancer patients with health insurance will use up all or most of their savings during treatment.
To learn more about how you can protect your family against the financial impact a critical disease like breast cancer can have on your family, contact our agency at 760-438-4442.
