Airing on NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt on September 14, 2024, and running in NBC News and its syndicates, Berneta Haynes interviews with Gretchen Morgenson for coverage of the medical debt crisis and Atrium Health’s aggressive pursuit to collect debts.
Medical debt is a “problem that is uniquely American,” said Berneta Haynes, senior attorney at the National Consumer Law Center, a nonprofit organization, and an expert on the topic. “Even if you have insurance, if you have chronic health conditions that require you to interface more often with the health care system, you are putting yourself at greater risk for medical debt every single time you make” an appointment.
