In a recent Women’s World article, “Half of Women over 50 Lose Sleep over Health Care Worries—Here’s How to Take Control,” journalist Carissa Mosness explores why medical costs, prescription expenses, and confusing health information leave so many women feeling anxious, and what practical steps they can take to regain confidence. The piece breaks down simple, proactive strategies to reduce out-of-pocket surprises and make informed decisions about care.
Our Chief Investment Officer & CEO, Steven Rogé, added a grounded, financial-planning perspective to the discussion, focusing on how transparency, preparation, and clear communication can help reduce stress around healthcare expenses.

Steven also encouraged creating a one-page “health budget” to anticipate routine costs, keep medications organized, and simplify plan comparisons.
