financial burden - (pronounced) (fy-NAN-shul BUR-den) In medicine, a term used to describe problems a patient is experiencing related to the cost of medical care. Not having health insurance or having many medical expenses that are not covered by health insurance can lead to financial problems and lead to debt and bankruptcy. Financial burdens can also affect quality of life and access to medical care. For example, a patient may not take a prescription drug or avoid going to the doctor to save money. Cancer patients are more financially burdened than people without cancer. Also called economic strain, economic hardship, financial hardship, financial hardship, financial stress and financial toxicity
