More than half of Americans have medical debt -- whether they have health insurance or not.

A recent survey of 1,250 U.S. adults found that 56% owe health-related debt and almost one in
six people with medical bills aren’t currently paying it off. A large chunk of the debt came
from Covid-19 treatment and testing, according to the poll conducted by Affordable Health Insurance.

...Almost a quarter of Americans with medical debt owed more than $10,000 -- something unheard
of in other developed countries.

...having insurance or not made little difference. In fact, 61% of respondents who have
employer-provided insurance said they have medical debt. This is largely due to a confusing
and patchy coverage system that includes copays, deductibles and out-of-network coinsurance --
often leading to denials of claims.--
