In honor of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we want to highlight the impact medical debt has on the mental well-being of low-to-moderate income workers. Despite having insurance, many individuals still face medical debt and its negative ripple effects on mental health. Here are some key findings from our study: 📊 70% of respondents with household incomes below $100,000 reported carrying medical debt. 🧠 60% said their medical debt negatively affected their mental health. 💔 42% reported that it negatively impacted their self-worth. As one respondent shared, “Having medical debt comes with a lot of mental stress for me. Even with health insurance, I don’t understand the high amount I have to pay out of pocket. It’s very frustrating and stressful to focus on my health.” Learn more about the mental health effects of medical debt on low-income workers and the solutions we offer to address this critical issue: https://lnkd.in/dWUEUpef #FinancialHealth #MedicalDebt #FinancialJustice
