Of the 850,000 bankruptcies filed in the US in 2007,
62.1% were attributed to health problems.

cause was almost 3x higher in 2007 than in
2001.
Short Term Disability

• Consider the Facts:• An average of 2,990 disabling injuries occur every hour
during the year.• In the United States, more than two thirds of the
disabling injuries suffered by workers in 2008 occurred off the job.
