The Economy and Employee Wellness

According to a recent survey conducted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, 22% of U.S. consumers have reduced the number of times they see the doctor as a result of today’s economy, and 11% have cut back on the number of prescription drugs they take or the dosage of those medications.

Employers should stress to employees that it is important to continue to take responsibility for their health, so they benefit from both healthier lives and more affordable healthcare.
