Скачать или смотреть Medical Bankruptcy: The One Bill That Breaks the American Back

1.Medical bankruptcy is a structural weakness of the U.S. economy, where illness often becomes a financial catastrophe rather than only a health event.

2.Despite world-leading medical technology and spending, millions are underinsured and exposed to high deductibles, opaque pricing, and aggressive debt collection.

3.Nearly 40% of U.S. adults carry medical debt; a single medical shock can wipe out savings and trigger long-term insolvency.

4.Health crises often cause a deleveraging spiral: job loss, high-interest borrowing, damaged credit, and reduced financial mobility.

5.This dynamic suppresses consumer spending, locks workers into insecure jobs, and lowers overall productivity.

6.Medical debt widens inequality and weakens the middle class, becoming a drag on economic growth.

7.Unlike other advanced economies with universal systems, the U.S. treats healthcare as a market commodity, shifting risk onto households.

8.The result is an erosion of the social contract, where access to care threatens financial survival.

9.The analysis highlights the need for systemic reform in healthcare pricing, insurance design, and financial protection.
