The Sun-Sentinel reported, “Roughly 1 in 7 U.S. residents with a credit record has medical debt in collections.” That sounds bad, but it’s actually worse. My own firm, Debt.com, recently conducted a poll showing half of all Americans owe medical bills. And half of those owe more than $1,000.

Howard Dvorkin, CPA and Debt.com chairman, told GOBankingRates that you can like him or hate him, but calling Jerome Powell a dangerous man “is unsettling.” “As a CPA, I worry about such base-focused rhetoric because it distracts from our country’s real financial problems and the dispassionate math that can solve them,” Dvorkin says. “I don’t agree with everything the Fed has done over the past three decades that I’ve been a business owner and a financial counselor.
