Americans should have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their futures will be financially secure. Yet, millions of Americans worry about their health and long-term financial security.

We're collecting the personal stories of people who have had experiences and challenges with the health care system and financial security.

By telling your story you can help Divided We Fail work to raise awareness among policymakers and opinion leaders about these important issues.

Judy C. of Hedgesville, WV, wrote to tell us about the cost of health insurance:

Health Insurance is too expensive now for many employers to pay the full premiums, so folks are forced to pay for a larger portion of the costs. My husband and I were forced to retire early and the cost of his employer's health insurance was about $16,800 a year. Now how can anyone with or without a pension and social security afford that kind of premium?

We want to hear from you. Are you concerned about the cost of health care? Or worried about financial security in your retirement? We'd like to encourage you, your friends, family members, neighbors and coworkers to share how these issues are impacting you and your families.
