What Employers Need To Know About Medical Debt

Medical debt is an American crisis, with forty-one percent of working-age Americans struggle to pay off medical debts. And as more people lose healthcare coverage or struggle with high insurance deductibles, medical debt is a primary factor in employee financial stress.

The Returns On Wellbeing Institute Podcast interviewed Allison Sesso, the Executive Director of RIP Medical Debt, a nonprofit organization dedicated to removing the burden of medical debt that has helped over 2 million people abolish more than $3 billion of oppressive medical debt. 

Allison discusses how medical debt has become a major source of low financial wellbeing in America and offers strategies for employers to help employees avoid or tackle medical debt.
