Investing in the Future: The Impact of Increased Funding on South Carolina Education
South Carolina is lagging behind in per-pupil spending. How can increased funding be used to create direct, real results for our students?
Sure, we hear about the costs and frustrations. But, what's the everyday impact?
​
In this infographic, we share some of the realities:
Unexpected medical bills are the number ONE cause of personal bankruptcies in the United States.
46% of insured adults are struggling to cover their out-of-pocket costs.
Healthcare expenses have more than doubled in the last decade.
Repeated studies show over 80% of medical bills have errors.
88% of people that get a second opinion (which isn't often supported here in the U.S.), walk out with a refined or new diagnosis.
83% of employees feel health insurance benefits are critical to their decision to stay or go.
40% of employees feel good health care benefits are more important than a raise when it comes to their satisfaction and if they'll stay.

All this, and 86% of employers are worried about the rising costs and looking for ways to control the expense so they can thrive.
