economic well-being for individuals and families
Insurance and Risk Management
Insurance markets are often seen as intimidating and complex, yet nearly all Georgians must navigate these markets to insure themselves and their property. For example, public and private medical insurance and the associated costs of medical care are straining individuals' and families' budgets and contributing to concerns about economic well-being. There is considerable confusion among retirees who must piece together public and private insurance policies to cover their medical needs. With this in mind, Cooperative Extension has the opportunity to educate Georgians about insurance tools that can help them navigate the complexities of insurance markets and protect their hard-earned assets and physical health.Programs
