I'd say that by the time the debt relief happens, the damage has already been done...and healing that damage takes a long time. I'd read that article in conjunction with https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/07/us/health-insurance-medical-bills.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/07/us/health-insurance-medic... ...which outlines exactly how insurance companies can just sort of decide...not to pay your medical bills, and leave patients with huge debt.

Itemized payments and fees for thousands of claims were made public in a lawsuit against Cigna after The Times petitioned the court. The insurer and MultiPlan opposed the release, calling the data “highly confidential.” "For providing outpatient substance abuse treatment, the facility received $134.13. (Fee for Cigna) For processing the claim, Cigna received $658.75, nearly five times as much as the treatment center. (Fee for MultiPlan) For recommending a payment amount, MultiPlan received $167.48, slightly more than the treatment center."
