Question for Americans

I’m watching tv and there’s a woman who has $100,000 student debt.

I have heard that size student debt is fairly common in USA. How do people manage that and also what if the had to pay medical debt too? How do they manage?

With great difficulty. There's a joke about college graduates never having to worry about being stranded on a desert island and not being found because the student loan commission would find them.

But it's horrible. A lot of student loan debt is actually due to predatory interest rates on those student loans, because the colleges know the students have no choice but to take it.
