HEALTH AFFAIRS MARKETWATCH: ILLNESS AND INJURY CONTRIBUTE TO BANKRUPTCY
About two million Americans a year are in families that experience a bankruptcy following illness or injury, representing about half of all bankruptcies. While the number of overall bankruptcies was 3.6 times higher in 2001 than in 1980, the number of health-related bankruptcies increased 23 times over the same period, which suggests that high medical bills were a major contributor to the growth in the number of individuals seeking federal bankruptcy protection.
