HEALTH AND LONG-TERM CARE
The rising cost of healthcare in America has become one of the primary risks to a financially secure retirement. Health insurance premiums and medical expenses now consume a hefty portion of retiree savings. And the future looks more troubling. Healthcare costs are expected to continue to increase faster than inflation, and many employers are re-evaluating their ability to offer retiree health insurance coverage.
