This report presents results from survey by the Center for Studying Health System Change that examines medical and health burdens of chronic conditions, including depression. The report notes that, in 2007, 30 percent of people with chronic conditions lived in families with trouble paying their medical bills, up from 21 percent in 2003. In addition, the report notes that while rising health care costs affect uninsured individuals more adversely than those with insurance, uninsured individuals with chronic illnesses are increasingly affected.
