red sox 777 12/20/19 2:44:50 PM #177:	Nelson_Mandela posted... How many people are actually bankrupted by medical debt in the US? How many of those are bankrupted because they could not afford to pay for private insurance vs willfully choosing not to pay for private insurance? How many in the former were not eligible for Medicaid? I honestly would like to see that breakdown, because that segment of the population is (in my mind) the only group where a solution is needed. And I would be shocked to learn that this amounts to more than .1% of the population. By bankrupted, do you mean "has a negative net worth" or "filed bankruptcy?" Because the only reason to file for bankruptcy is if you have assets to protect. If it's having a negative net worth, then loads of Americans are in that situation, maybe 30-40% of the country? --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:931849382] in Politics C...
