Today, we're giving people a preview of what it's like to never worry about a medical bill again:

Under the Affordable Care Act, did you know that many preventative care services are free for patients? When was your last physical?

Healthcare providers write off 10% of all patient out-of-pocket expenses as uncompensated care. Some leave it at that and call it charity care. Others sell the debt to agencies that specialize in harassment. Make no mistake, you should be insured. But if you're not, it pays to see which providers are benevolent and which will make your life miserable for years to come. All so they could make a couple cents on the dollar.

20% of all credit reports are marred by unpaid medical debt. Want to guess how much the average overdue balance is that drives this financial ruin? $579. Yes, that's a lot amount of money for most of us, but it's not the soul-crushing, insurmountable $100k unpaid bill that most people think of when they hear of medical-related bankruptcies.

Even "successful professionals" are often surprised at how little their insurance covers.

The last thing you should have to do when you're sick is work more.

Nearly half of patients are unaware of hospital fee reduction programs.

7 of 10 Americans with medical bill problems must cut back spending on food, clothing, or basic household items

Medical billing issues are much more common in southern states.

65% of Americans with trouble paying medical bills skip the dentist

One-third of Americans with medical billing issues are forced to skip their medicine or cut pills in half.

A majority of doctors don't explain the cost of recommended procedures.
