Elizabeth Warren is the Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at the Harvard Law School. She is co-author of the 2005 landmark study "Illness and Injury as Contributors to Bankruptcy" which showed that 50% of all U.S. personal bankruptcies are related to medical debt and the aggressive collection tactics of hospitals. The study also found that most of the medically bankrupt are middle class families with children. Elizabeth is the foremost authority on bankruptcy and medical debt.
