>In reality, most of us aren’t at risk of going bankrupt from a health care emergency. Again, I fully agree that too many people are at risk of going bankrupt from a healthcare emergency, but it’s not the norm for the average American like you might read online.

In reality, every single person is at risk for a medical situation that will bankrupt you.

Ever drive? You're at risk for getting into a car accident that could lead to thousands or hundreds of thousands of medical costs.

One of the biggest lies of the american health care system is that your risks of medical costs is solely connected to your health.

You can be the healthiest person in the world, and a drunk driver can still lay your ass out. And that is being truly the healthiest person. Many people only seem like they're perfectly healthy, because diseases like heart disease and cancer can be lurking without symptoms for long periods of time.

The biggest cause of bankruptcy in the US is medical costs. STILL. The idea that most people are at risk of going bankrupt from a health care emergency is just false.
