- Nearly one-quarter of adults report family medical bills that they are paying off over time, and medical debt is most common among middle-income adults.
- Among those adults with medical debt, 7 in 10 reported incurring all of the debt during periods when they and their family members had health insurance.
- Middle-income adults are more likely than other adults to incur medical debt from needed services that are not covered by health plans and from plan cost-sharing requirements.
