Here are some questions we will address in our meeting:• Where does medical debt come from?
• How can I avoid medical debt from the outset?
• What are my options if I can not afford to pay?
• What happens if I am sued?
• When I pass, who is responsible for my medical debt?
Participants can send questions when they register if they choose.
