Health & Cost Benefits
While serving on the U.S. Chamber Of Commerce Employee Benefits Council, MHFL's founder became concerned about the serious health issues and related healthcare costs facing American families and businesses.

It's a situation that will only intensify with the growth of "Consumer Directed Care" and the shifting of health care decisions and costs to consumers. And it's an extremely difficult situation for the nearly 50 million Americans struggling without health insurance.
It's a situation where rising healthcare costs, if left unchecked, can cripple our country's businesses and our nation's economic vitality overall.
And, it's a situation of grave concern for most developing countries around the globe as well.
For those individuals who have employer-sponsored health insurance, the average premium cost for family coverage has nearly doubled since 2001 -- to $3,300, up from $1,800 -- while incomes have not risen as much. Then there's other out-of-pocket medical costs. Put these costs together, and it takes a big chunk out of the typical family budget. The average insured person's household's income now devoted to health care has reached about one-fifth of overall spending, according to the consulting firm Deloitte.
And only about one in 14 of us -- only 7% - feels financially prepared for future health care costs, according to the firm's recent research.
