On average, someone in the U.S. will suffer a heart attack every 34 seconds, and about every 40 seconds someone in the U.S. has a stroke. Recovery is tough, but it’s tougher when the bills start to come in. Aflac Group Critical Illness insurance helps employees recuperate without the stress or worry over financial setbacks.
