Scenario

When couples delay necessary healthcare due to employment without benefits

My partner and I both work in restaurants without benefits and we've been putting off getting physicals or addressing health issues because we can't afford the time off or the costs but we're both noticing symptoms we're scared about and paralyzed by not knowing how bad the financial hit will be.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Economic vulnerability creates a feedback loop where health avoidance increases both health and financial risks.
