Maybe not if you're in the 'upper middle class'. If you're from the lower income classes (maids, drivers, helpers), it's very likely that health issues can bankrupt you.

I personally know an entire family that has sunk into debt that they couldn't possibly pay-off, due to health related expenses for someone in the family.
