Overview
Money has become an evil entity that is responsible for the loss of several lives as the treatment affordability depends entirely on money. Sudden financial crises may even be a causative factor in heart attacks and many other diseases.
At a time of increasing health care costs, patients commonly face substantial financial barriers to getting the needed health care. In a recent study, researchers have reiterated that older adults with severe financial strain had a greater risk for mortality 6 months after being discharged from the hospital for acute myocardial infarction. The study findings were published in the JAMA Internal Medicine.
