Medical debt is becoming an increasingly pervasive problem

Medical-Debt

Revelations 13:16-18 “Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.”

Important Takeaways:

  • Medical debt is becoming an increasingly pervasive problem, with a seemingly never-ending stream of media reports chronicling bankruptcies, garnished wages, lost homes and insidious tactics from hospitals all too eager to sue their patients.
  • State lawmakers are taking notice and enacting a flurry of reforms designed to protect their constituents from late notices, threatening voicemails and credit score declines
  • The actions — in more than a dozen states — represent a determined, if patchwork, effort to help the roughly 100 million Americans who deal with medical debt.
