Uvelwano, iqonga elinceda iintsapho ukuba zihambe kuhambo olujongene nazo emva kokuphulukana nesithandwa, namhlanje likhuphe uhlelo lokuqala lonyaka “lweNgxelo yokuFa”. Ingxelo ityhila iziphumo kuphando olutsha oluphonononga iindleko zokwenyani zokufa e-US. Ingxelo ibandakanya isandulela esivela kuGoldman Sachs, kunye neengcamango ezivela kwiingcali kwisithuba sokuphela kobomi kuquka uDavid Kessler, iGosa eliyiNtloko leMvelwano kwiNgcali yoMvelwano kunye nosizi, uBJ Miller, MD, uMcebisi onovelwano kwi-Empathy & Co-Founder of I-Mettle Health, kunye no-Shoshanna Ungerleider, MD, uMseki weSiseko esiPhakamileyo.
Iintsapho ezijongene nelahleko zijongene nocelomngeni olulodwa oluquka phantse zonke iinkalo zobomi bazo. Ngelishwa, iinkqubo zenkxaso zemveli ezikhoyo kuninzi lwabantu baseMelika ziyasilela ekujonganeni neemfuno ezipheleleyo zosapho olufelweyo. Ubhubhani we-COVID-19 uzise lo msantsa kwingqwalasela ebukhali. Bangaphezu kwezigidi ezi-3 abantu baseMelika abaphulukene nobomi babo ngo-2020 kwaye amalungu osapho ashiyekileyo ashiyeka ekhangela inkxaso efanelekileyo yokubakhokela kwilahleko yemali, yezomthetho, kunye nemiceli mngeni yeemvakalelo.
Le ngxelo ijonga ngokubanzi iindleko zokubhubha e-United States kunye neemfuno ezinkulu ezibeka kusapho lomfi. Ulwazi aluchazi nje kuphela intlungu yeemvakalelo, kodwa owona mthwalo, obonakalayo, ohamba nelahleko efana nomngcwabo, ukuhlawula amatyala, kunye nokulawula amafa. Kunye neenkcukacha-manani eziqaphelekayo, le ngxelo ibonakalisa iimbono ezivela kwiingcali ezaziwayo kwicandelo lokufelwa ngendlela enokusonjululwa ngayo loo mingeni.
Iziphumo ezibalulekileyo ziquka:
• Emva kokuba umntu omthandayo eswelekile, phantse usapho ngalunye lujongene nomthwalo omkhulu wemali, kunye ne-avareji yetyala lilonke lime kwi-12,702 yeedola.
• Ngokwe-avareji, iintsapho zichitha iinyanga ezili-13 emva kokusweleka kothandekayo wazo zigqibezela yonke imisebenzi eyimfuneko, okanye iinyanga ezingama-20 ukuba ilifa kufuneka lidlule kwinkqubo epheleleyo yokulingwa.
• Ukufelwa kunefuthe elibonakalayo kukhuseleko lomsebenzi wamalungu osapho aqeshiweyo kunye nemveliso yomsebenzi: I-46% yabaphenduli kwafuneka ichithe ngaphezulu kweyure enye ngosuku lokusebenza ukujongana nemisebenzi enxulumene nesithandwa sabo, okuthetha ukuba iiyure ezingama-1 zizonke zemveliso enokubakho elahlekileyo. ekuhambeni kwexesha lenkqubo ye-avareji yeenyanga ezili-325.
“Ukufa akutsibi mntu, kwaye iindleko zokufa ziphezulu kunokuba sicinga,” utshilo uRon Gura, uMseki-ntsapho kunye ne-CEO ye-Empathy. “Ngaphandle kweendleko zemali, iindleko zengqondo zentlungu zingena kuzo zonke iinkalo zobomi bethu. Thina, njengoluntu, sinokwenza okungakumbi ukunceda abo babandezelekileyo; ngale ngxelo, ebandakanya iminikelo ebalulekileyo evela kumanani aphambili kwisithuba sokuphela kobomi kunye nentshayelelo kaGoldman Sachs, sinethemba lokukhanyisa kwesi sihloko sihlala singahoywa ukuze sikwazi ukoyisa i-taboo yokufa kwaye sinyathele ngokunentsingiselo. kwiintsapho ezisentlungwini kulo lonke elase-US.”
"Uvelwano lubonakalise kule ngxelo ukuba abantu baseMelika bachitha i-GDP yelizwe eliphakathi kwiindleko ezinxulumene nokufa minyaka yonke," utshilo u-Adam Hills, uMlawuli oLawulayo, iNtloko ye-SurvivorSupport® e-Goldman Sachs Ayco Personal Financial Management. “Ukulahlekelwa ngumntu omthandayo ngumthombo oyintloko woxinezeleko, yaye olu xanduva longezelelekileyo lwemali lunokukwenza kube nzima ngakumbi. Sikholelwa ukuba imiba echazwe kwingxelo kaMvelwano iqinisekisa amava ethu okusebenza nabaqeshi ukunceda abathengi abasentlungwini bajongane nemiceli mngeni ekhethekileyo abajongana nayo ngamaxesha anzima obomi.
Uphononongo luhlelo lokuqala lwengxelo yonyaka ukuqonda ngcono imingeni kunye neemfuno zeentsapho ezifelweyo e-US. Bangaphezu kwama-2,100 abantu abaswelekelwe sisithandwa kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo bathathe inxaxheba kolu hlolisiso.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- This report takes a comprehensive look at the cost of dying in the United States and the massive demands it puts on the family of the deceased.
- With this report, which includes important contributions from leading figures in the end-of-life space and a foreword by Goldman Sachs, we hope to shine a light on this often neglected topic so that we can overcome the taboo on death and meaningfully step up for grieving families across the US.
- 46% of respondents had to spend more than 1 hour per workday to deal with tasks related to their loved one, meaning a total of 325 hours of potential lost productivity over the course of the average 13-month process.
