Last week, HSA Bank, a division of Webster Bank, N.A., released its seventh annual HSA Bank Health & Wealth IndexSM. The study, which polled more than 2,000 randomly selected U.S. adults, gives important insights into consumers' desires, frustrations, and habits related to health care and financial matters.
According to the report, most consumers know what they want when it comes to health care. Eighty-four percent of respondents said they were confident in choosing the right health care plan. Unfortunately, 35% of respondents also indicated concerns in how they'd pay for health care costs over the next year. Thirty-six percent said they were unsure how they'd pay for health care during retirement.
Consumers continue to be moderately engaged in health and wealth activities, the consumer index score falling from 56.6% in 2023 to 55.5% this year.
