I think you will agree the most important factor in this economy is your paycheck aka having a job. Many people would describe their income as "paycheck to paycheck" with little left over after all the bills are paid. It is very difficult to set aside 3 or 6 months of income for most families. In addition, many health providers have gone to a $2000 deductible or greater if they are asked to pay for anything beyond a doctor visit (lab work, broken bones and surgeries are all in that category). Aflac offers a direct cash payment if you are involved in an accident or have a critical illness such as a stroke, cancer or heart attack. We offer this coverage to both individuals and businesses. In some cases we are the only health coverage in place because major medical coverage costs too much.
