Financially Coping with Illness
[By Staff Reporters]
From 2015 to 2020, medical expenses are expected to outpace inflation at an annual rate of 5.3 percent versus 2.1 percent for general inflation, according to the Department of Labor [DOC]. As a result, most Americans will be unprepared financially to cope with an illness without significant savings.
So now, Prudential Group Insurance is offering critical illness insurance through employers.

For about $200 to $250 per year or $8 to $10 a month, employees who fall ill with cancer, kidney failure, stroke, heart attack, coronary artery disease and other serious illnesses, can receive a lump-sum payment upon documented diagnoses.
Assessment
Although Prudential does not offer the product to individuals, insurers, such as Mutual of Omaha, do.
