Abstract
In the first two parts of the series, we described the sources of high prices in health care and the severe constraints faced by low-income patients when seeking to access care without incurring medical debt. In this third and final installment, we examine the origins of aggressive medical debt collection practices, their deleterious consequences for patients, and potential solutions.
