This is a nice descriptive thread on just how stunningly huge of a problem medical debt really is (particularly in states that didn't expand Medicaid).
Interesting paper on the rise in medical debt & regional disparities. One remarkable finding: “Medical debt has grown relative to non-medical debt and is now greater in total than debt in collections from all other sources combined.”
Again, unsurprisingly, researchers found medical debt is higher in regions that did NOT expand the ACA. TL;DR: Evidence published @JAMA today reaffirms #healthcare a key piece of the social safety net. https://t.co/Hz8Yn3swIn

Medicaid expansion—jewel of the ACA—in this case reducing the burden of medical debt.

Looking forward to reading this one. Figure 3A and 3B are research goals for study design. Medicaid expansion looks pretty convincing to me.
Here's the original research on medical debt from @ray_kluender @francisawong @wesyin who show it's massive (17.8% of people have it) and more concentrated among people who have been impoverished. https://t.co/9GqnoNjPqq
