Has skyrocketed

The cost of healthcare in many countries has skyrocketed, leaving patients with immense medical bills that they struggle to pay off. Even with insurance, deductibles, co-pays, and other out-of-pocket expenses can quickly add up, especially for those with chronic conditions or who require long-term care. As a result, many people face financial hardship, medical debt, and bankruptcy due to the exorbitant cost of medical treatment. Addressing this issue will require a comprehensive approach that includes reforming the healthcare system, improving affordability and accessibility of care, and advocating for patient rights.
