The Connection Between Bankruptcy and Medical Bills
It has been estimated that nearly 40 percent of all consumer bankruptcy filings are related to medical bills. Eventually, the new health care system may lower this number. For now and the foreseeable future, however, medical debts will continue to push many Americans into bankruptcy.
At Kodam & Associates, P.C., in Murrieta and Temecula, California, experienced bankruptcy lawyers can help you eliminate or significantly your medical debts through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. If you decide to file, we will navigate the process on your behalf and make sure that you are getting every protection afforded to you by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Furthermore, you can rest assured that a licensed attorney — not a paralegal — will handle your bankruptcy filing from beginning to end.
Filing Bankruptcy Might Be the Healthiest Decision You Make
Many people do not feel right about not paying their debts to health care providers. At the same time, no one should be condemned to decades of financial purgatory simply because our current health care system is broken. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the stress of not knowing whether you can afford treatment or pay medical debts that you've already incurred — realize that the decision to file bankruptcy is not irresponsible or morally wrong.
