Do you have medical debt?
At age 60, Marie would have rather been planning her retirement. Instead, she filed for bankruptcy.
Buried by over $130,000 in medical bills, Marie lost her home, her car, and her dignity. Marie is not alone. More than 2 out of 5 adults, over 77 million people, have had medical bill and debt problems. Over 60 million Americans, like Marie, have chronic conditions. When Marie had her heart attack, she was uninsured, but of the two thirds of families having health insurance coverage, many face medical debt due to rapidly rising health costs, more patient cost sharing, the rising number of uninsured, and higher levels of consumer debt. Awash with medical debt after her heart attack, Marie refused to go to the doctor. As a result, she needed more expensive heart surgery later on. Marie's story does not have to be your story. |
