Description

Abstract:: Medical bill out-of-pocket payments have increased from ~15% in 2003 to 19.4% in 2007, causing individuals to delay needed healthcare. Research suggests that chronic diseases have financial consequences for older adults, and disadvantaged elderly and families are more likely to experience financial hardship due to medical expenses. Data suggests that Black Americans are more likely than White Americans to experience diseases, death, and disability from a range of conditions, which can amass crippling medical debt.
