Medical debt is one of the three major causes for bankruptcy. Other two are job less and divorce. This illustrates why we need our sick care system overhauled. We currently have everyone using the system, but only those with health insurance end up paying. We need a system that puts everyone in and makes everyone pay. Only way to do that is with a payroll tax system, like with Social Security. As of now, fewer can afford insurance, so they don't pay (via bankruptcy or otherwise) so premiums go up, so fewer people can afford insurance, then they don't pay, then premiums go up, so fewer people can afford insurance, then they don't pay...... You get the picture. Oh, if only we were not "represented" by dolts in Washington who were completely beholden to the lobbyists. Great article, Dan! Great article.
