This should not happen in a country as rich as the U.S. Businesses and individuals should not get wealthy on the backs of people who are sick and, as a result, are now in debt.

Medical debt is highest in communities in the South, where many states still have not expanded Medicaid coverage under the ACA. https://t.co/EawDslDzPI
Imagine being sick + pursued by collection agency for medical debt Important study shows this burden markedly reduced in states that accepted ACA Medicaid expansion States refuse impose unconsciounable suffering on their poorest citizens https://t.co/e5f0
Evidence: Medicaid expansion sharply lowers medical debt.

Congrats to @nealemahoney & coauthors on a fascinating new result: "In this retrospective analysis of credit reports for a nationally representative 10% panel...an estimated 17.8% of individuals in the US had medical debt in collections in June 2020."
Insurance is often insufficient to protect against financial harm of the costs of health care, and those without coverage remain the most at risk for medical debt. Affordability is an access issue. Kudos to @ray_kluender et al for their work out today:
