According to price-comparison website NerdWallet Health’s vice-president Christina LaMontagne, rising medical bills will be the cause of 1.7 million American household bankruptcies this year, surpassing credit card bills and mortgage payments.

LaMontagne said 25 million people in the U.S. hesitate to readily treat their illnesses due to low funds, which is dangerous because they typically actually worsen their financial situation with emergency visits to the hospital and ambulance costs.

Even those millions of Americans who have year-round health coverage are still subjected to high amounts of bills, with 11 million people expected to take on additional credit-card debt to pay for medical bills, LaMontagne said.

Moreover, 15 million people will use up their savings to cover medical bills, while another 10 million people will have to forgo rent, food, and utilities payment in order to cover medical payments, NerdWallet estimates showed.

CNET Networks, Inc. founder Halsey Minor is looking to continue his bankruptcy claim after his case was dismissed last month, noting the fault wasn’t his own but rather his attorney’s, who missed the deadline for filing bankruptcy.

Minor filed a personal Chapter 7 bankruptcy claim with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles on June 7, five years after he sold CNET for $1.8 billion. However, the case was dismissed on June 13 due to a “failure to file schedules, statements, and/or plan.”

The online docket for the case also contained detailed asset lists and a roundup of the debtor’s state of affairs, information which judges require to assess whether or not to grant a bankruptcy.

Minor’s assets were listed as more than $32 million, while his debt was more than $104 million. In his reinstatement claim, he said all the necessary documents for the case have now been filed.
