Healthcare costs are soaring, and many Americans do not have adequate health insurance coverage. As a result, medical debt is on the rise. A recent study showed that 41% of all working-age Americans — 72 million people — have medical debt problems or are currently paying off medical debt. Additionally, seven million elderly adults also have medical debt. In total, 79 million Americans struggle to pay off medical debt. 

Financial experts predict that there could be a sharp increase in bankruptcy filings happening in the next few months. Government shutdowns related to the coronavirus pandemic have caused significant financial challenges for many Americans who have lost their jobs or experienced a decrease in pay. The federal government and state governments have adopted programs to help families who cannot pay their bills.
