From the Pennsylvania Health Access Network (http://www.pahealthaccess.org):
Whether it’s charging your deductible to your credit card, having a hospital bill sent to collections, or racking up debt to pay for medications, millions of Americans have medical debt, even if they have health insurance.
Often, medical debt is unavoidable. It can be the result of a chronic illness that requires routine care, an emergency hospitalization, a high deductible, or even the birth of a child.
And debt – or the fear of debt – can mean people avoid care when they need it.
It’s time to demand action. Can you sign our petition demanding an end to medical debt? Go to https://pahealth.salsalabs.org/endmedicaldebt/index.html to take action.
