I can barely afford regular-ass doctor’s appointments and my monthly meds. My credit score and abysmal income literally defines where I can rent an apartment, and that’s why my commute is over 40 minutes via highway without traffic.
If I go to the hospital and it’s not worker’s comp, I’m SUPER DUPER FUCKED, and I know that’s a pretty typical situation.
Medical debt will ruin a person’s credit record, denying them access to housing and even some employment. It absolutely does matter and is not trivial.
