Why Medical Bankruptcy is a Thing - Only in the USA.
In most developed countries, getting sick doesn’t mean financial ruin—but in the U.S., medical bankruptcy is a devastating reality. Every year, over 500,000 families are forced into bankruptcy due to medical bills, even though many of them had health insurance.
Why does this only happen in America? Sky-high healthcare costs, deceptive insurance policies, aggressive debt collection, and a profit-driven system create a financial death trap for ordinary people. While other nations regulate prices and ensure access to care, the U.S. allows hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and insurers to prioritize profit over patients.
From shocking real-life stories to strategies for avoiding medical debt, uncover the hidden forces behind this crisis—and learn how to fight back.
