I always find it interesting how being stressed or unhappy because of something like high medical debt is framed as a mental health issue, rather than as a normal reaction to living in a sick hyper-capitalist society.
But hey, I suppose medicating the symptoms is more profitable than tackling the causes.
To be fair, things like high medical debt can make stress and unhappiness in a person who already has mental illness worse. Sometimes far worse to the point that there's a breakdown.
With the guarantee of high cost you also have a lot of doctors who don't care about the patient, only their insurance card. Not saying all, but lots. At least in my 14 years of chronic illness.
Everyone should just stop paying medical debt. I have and after 7 years of ignoring it, the debt went away. Fuck Ascension and corporate urgent cares
