Government Resource List

 

The Best Government Resource List was created to highlight government benefits that help you with your medical costs.

It is not surprising that in 2013 CNBC reporter, Dan Mangan published an article that stated medical bills account for over half of all bankruptcy’s.

Sadly, medical costs forced nearly two million Americans in 2013 to enter bankruptcy.

As medical costs steeply accelerate each year it is difficult for those in medical and financial need to know where to start.

Hopefully, this Government Resource List will provide you with some guidance.

The government resource list provides website links to programs that may help you:
