The health care debt gap continues to disproportionately impact people of color, especially those in low-income communities. Insurance company Aflac and former NFL star, now head football coach for Jackson State University, Deion Sanders are working together to minimize that.

To address overwhelming medical disparities in America, Aflac, in collaboration with brand ambassador Sanders, launched a national initiative called Close the Gap. The initiative aims to support, educate and advocate for people who fall in the gap where health insurance ends and medical bills begin to pile up.
