Laura Landro (@lauralandroWSJ) recently reported to the Wall Street Journal that For Many, Life After Heart Surgery Is Surprisingly Hard.  It’s a great article and a suggested read for anyone that has a family history of heart problems or is expecting to undergo heart surgery.

Laura notes that up to 40% of patients suffer from depression after cardiac surgery.  She goes on to say that isolation and a lack of a strong support network can further limit recovery in older patients.

My question to you is how much might $20,000-$50,000 from a critical illness policy help?

Do you and your employees have access to a critical illness policy?
