My part of the statement is still true. I do not know anyone that has filed personal bankruptcy due to medical costs...solely. Unless the article can print the name of someone that I know, I'll maintain my position.

I'll have to assume that other posters all know individuals that have filed personal bankruptcy due to medical costs....solely.

As I read the Bloomberg link, if you have med insurance, the average for those that filed bankruptcy(?), out of pocket med expense with no insurance was $26,000. The average WITH insurance was $17,000. Do I read those figures correctly? Those are the amounts that cause the personal bankruptcy?
