Medical bankrupties on the rise
June 9th, 2009, 6:00 am · 4 Comments · posted by Courtney Perkes
A new study from Harvard University finds that 62 percent of bankruptcies are caused by medical bills - a 50 percent increase since 2001. Based on that rate, medical bankruptcies this year will total 866,000 and involve 2.3 million Americans – about one person every 15 seconds.
The complete story can be found in The OC Register.
