Prioritizing Benefits Education: Healthcare Affordability Study

HR Exchange Network | 01/23/2026

Financial stress can affect performance, focus, and workplace happiness.

A slowing labor market led to income uncertainty for many. Healthcare costs create significant financial stress for families in the United States. The question isn't whether people will adjust their budgets— it's what they'll cut, and how it will affect their everyday lives.

In a study conducted by HealthEquity, 79% of respondents are somewhat concerned or very concerned about the overall economy and 59% are somewhat more or much more concerned about personal finances than they were 6 months ago. 

The findings highlight the real impact of the healthcare affordability crisis and reveal how benefits teams can help their people save, spend, and invest with confidence.
