Medical bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy


Many American adults will struggle to pay medical bills this year. A sudden accident or frightening diagnosis can touch virtually anyone, unleashing mountains of bills. In fact, medical bills are the leading cause of personal bankruptcy.

  • Compare your Explanation of Benefits against your medical bill to check for mistakes.
  • Appeal any denied claims, 
  • Ask your hospital or other health care provider if any financial aid is available

  1. I think it would be really hard if you had to file for bankruptcy and didn't have any income. I wonder if the senior care homes have a really low cost to stay there or if you can do a payment plan that the family pays for. I just wouldn't like to see the elderly on the streets because they are unable to work and they can't afford somewhere to live.
