An Infographic
Think you’re invincible? You’re not alone. Most working Americans, and even some physicians, drastically underestimate the odds of experiencing an income-interrupting injury or illness that will last an extended period of time.

Now consider that more than one in four of today’s 20-year-olds will have their income interrupted by a disability before they retire. That’s because some top causes of long-term disabilities aren’t catastrophic accidents, but common, everyday health issues like back pain, heart disease, arthritis, cancer, even pregnancy.
Yet; no matter how healthy, everybody has a risk that is too high to ignore.

Mortality Rates for Middle-Aged Whites Higher than Expected
The Commonwealth Fund recently released a study on mortality rates of working-age white Americans. Here are some key findings from the report:
• Death rates between 1999 and 2014 were expected to decline 1.8% per year.
• 2014 mortality rates were 60-76% higher than expected in southern states like Alabama and Arkansas.
• Suicide and substance abuse account for 40% of the gap between expected and actual death rates.
• 60% of the gap was attributable to death rates failing to improve as expected for most causes of death.
• Cancer was the exception for middle-aged whites, as deaths declined by 14% between 1999 and 2014.
• The entire gap between expected/actual deaths for younger whites is caused by drug abuse and suicide.
