Bankruptcy Reform and the Costs of Sickness: Exploring the Intersections
16 Pages Posted: 24 Jan 2007
Abstract
Two important developments in the personal bankruptcy system unfolded over the course of the last several years: lawmakers considered and ultimately passed an omnibus bankruptcy bill, and researchers began to delve more broadly and deeply into medical-related financial distress among bankruptcy filers. Drawing on prior scholarship, this brief article contributes to a University of Missouri-Columbia symposium on Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Bankruptcy Reform by considering what, if anything, these developments have to do with one another.
