Thank you @usnewsHealth & @usnews for covering our work about Financial Toxicity after Traumatic Injury from the @MHEAL_lab team. Article in @JAMAHealthForum here: ja.ma/3UsPBNu "Many Insured Americans Are an Injury Away From Bankruptcy" usnews.com/news/health-ne…
NEW: Working-age, privately insured people who suffer a traumatic #injury also suffer financial pain at much higher rate than others like them, new study from @DrJohnScott, @NoraBeckerMD et al shows: ihpi.umich.edu/news/major-fin…
Medical Debt + Bankruptcies shed light on the long-term economic strain experienced by survivors of traumatic injuries in @JAMAHealthForum. Collaborative work from @MHEAL_lab members @DrJohnScott @MichelleHMoniz @ErinCarlton @NoraBeckerMD, + all-stars @renutip & @kirstinwscott

Just wild! Families shouldn't face such $ burden for essential healthcare. Individuals who give birth pay ~$3,000 more out-of-pocket than peers who don't give birth healthsystemtracker.org/brief/health-c… via @KFF #FinancialToxicity @NoraBeckerMD @ErinCarlton @DrJohnScott @MHEAL_lab @UM_VBID
Adults’ risk of serious financial problems rises directly with the number of chronic health conditions they have, a new study of nearly 3 million privately insured adults finds: labblog.uofmhealth.org/industry-dx/as… @MHealthLab @jzayanian @NoraBeckerMD @DrJohnScott @MichelleHMoniz
In a tour de force of combining medical and financial data from nearly 3 million people, @NoraBeckerMD & colleagues show a "dose dependent" link between serious financial issues and the tally of #ChronicIllness that a person lives with: ihpi.umich.edu/news/health-pr…

Friday fact: 5 in 10 pregnant/postpartum women in the wealthiest nation in the world have financial distress. 6 in 10 view healthcare as unaffordable. This keeps me up at night. @JAMANetworkOpen bit.ly/36mUhRe @UM_IHPI @UM_PWHER

1-in-5 households hold medical debt ...to the tune of $88,000,000,000 How can we think the system is working fine when *the sick* (you know, those who need healthcare) are saddled with $ 88 Billion in bills they can't pay? We have so much work to do. @MHEAL_lab @michiganshield

Excited to share our work in @AnnalsofSurgery! Using National Health Interview Survey, we found #financialtoxicity is common among surg patients: 33% reporting general financial strain & 40% unaffordable care @PoojaNeiman @chasliu @KyleSheetz @DrJohnScott journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…
Taken together, financial toxicity was reported by half of surgical patients & varies by income and insurance - pointing to policies and programs for intervention
