Edlin Garcia Colato studies how people understand and afford health care in the United States, with a focus on health insurance literacy, medical debt, and the cost-of-care conversations that patients have with providers. Much of the work examines older adults and looks at differences across racial and ethnic groups, as well as connections between financial strain from medical bills and mental health. The research combines public health and health economics perspectives.
