Overview
Millions of individuals and families struggle with overwhelming medical debt, often forced to choose between paying for healthcare and covering basic living expenses. A single medical emergency can lead to crippling financial hardship, especially for uninsured or underinsured individuals. Medical debt should not be a barrier to well-being, and by providing relief, we can help people regain financial stability and focus on their health.
The Need
Medical debt is a growing crisis that affects people of all backgrounds, but it disproportionately impacts low-income families, seniors, and those with chronic illnesses. Key challenges include:
- Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs: Many patients face medical bills in the tens of thousands, even for routine procedures.
- Lack of Insurance Coverage: Millions are uninsured or underinsured, leaving them responsible for unaffordable medical expenses.
- Bankruptcy & Financial Hardship: Medical debt is one of the leading causes of personal bankruptcy and financial distress.
- Delayed or Denied Care: Fear of debt prevents many from seeking necessary medical treatment, worsening health outcomes.
- Mental & Emotional Stress: The burden of medical bills can lead to anxiety, depression, and loss of financial independence.
