Thanks for being skeptical, looked it up because of that. Looks like the primary study people cite is this one, which indicates around 65% of people filing for bankruptcy cite a medical contributor of their bankruptcy. That includes medical bills (highest contributor overall) and loss of income due to medical issues.

I’d like to see what information you have that’s different though.



Loss of income is #1 with medical being close #2.

78% cited loss of income.
