Announcing: A Backup Health Plan That Has Your Back
Considering the already astronomic cost of health care and the uncertain economic outlook, it’s easy to worry about how you’d pay for recovering from a major illness such as a heart attack or stroke. What happens to your savings? What happens to your family?
But at last, thanks to your employment with ACR Benefits, you are now entitled to catastrophic major medical insurance. That’s because ACR Benefits has joined together with Marsh Global Consumer to offer you the advantage of the Catastrophic Major Medical Plan.
With the Catastrophic Major Medical Plan, you can feel good about knowing:
- You can concentrate on getting better instead of worrying about how you’re going to pay for it.
- You can cover all members of your family.
- Your recovery won’t financially burden your family members and friends.
- You can easily afford this coverage.
Did You Know?
Medical costs triggered nearly eight times as many personal bankruptcies in 2007 as they did 25 years ago. Nine of 10 families had to mortgage their home to pay the bills. And most troubling, the researchers found that these families were, by and large, folks living comfortable middle-class lives.1
