Bankruptcies continue to have the greatest impact on middle-class families. Double-income working families who have scrimped for years are just not able to stay ahead of the game. Most of those filing for bankruptcy own homes, cars and have attended or graduated from college.
Medical-caused bankruptcies affect about 2 million Americans each year. Most of those seeking court protections from creditors did have health insurance – but the co-payments and ancillary costs not covered exceeded their ability to pay. Most consumers reported they had coverage at the start of the illness that triggered bankruptcy.
Illness frequently leads to the loss of both a job and insurance, large co-payments, out-of-pocket medical expenses and financial mismanagement are all reported as the top causes for requiring intervention from the courts.
