The article starts off by explaining that there are tens of millions of consumers who are finding themselves and their budget saddled by medical debt at one point in their lives or another. Just about anyone who has major medical expenses has a possibility of receiving a medical bill that is bigger than what they can normally afford.
The article points out that as much as the consumers are worried about their medical debt, the doctors themselves are finding themselves worrying about their patients’ inability to pay.

The article shares as well the most common causes of medical debt on top of which are hospital fees. Consumers need to understand that a hospital is a large facility that is staffed by well-trained and well paid medical practitioners that caters to patient’s needs. There are a few grants that finances these hospitals but majority of a hospital’s revenue comes from bills sent to patients and insurance companies.
Another source of medical debt are out of pocket expenses whenever there is a medical situation in the household.
