Many women know about insurance that pays doctor and hospital bills.
You may not have focused on the economic situations that could threaten these assets. The reality is that illness or injury can keep you from working and earning. Severe illness or injury can also result in more than medical expenses. According to the HIAA, women are more likely to lack adequate insurance coverage, because they are more likely to be employed in an occupation or by a business that doesn't offer such coverage. Married women in two-income households may assume that one income would be enough to live on if needed.
