This pilot study explored the link between predatory lending and health care debt among Hispanics. Research shows that links exist between health care costs, debt, poverty, and race ( Draught & Silva, 2003 ; Zeldin & Rukavina, 2007 ). Prior to this study there was no research on the intersection between medical debt and predatory lending although there was reason to believe this link exists ( Seifert, 2004 ). Our results confirm this link and we propose means to break it.
这项初步研究探讨了掠夺性贷款与西班牙裔人群医疗保健债务之间的联系。研究表明，医疗保健成本、债务、贫困和种族之间存在关联（Draught & Silva，2003；Zeldin & Rukavina，2007）。在这项研究之前，虽然有理由相信两者之间存在联系，但没有关于医疗债务和掠夺性贷款之间交叉点的研究（Seifert，2004）。我们的研究结果证实了这种联系，并提出了打破这种联系的方法。
