Post it again, John. Others might like to see it who missed it before and, believe it or not, in spite of being the former moderator of this thread, I hardly read every post on it. If you have advanced search you should be able to find it. If you don't have it, you probably have a friend who does.

"In an article published recently on the Internet, Prof. Robert Lawless presented data showing a tight and positive relationship between annual measurements of consumer debt level and the numbers of non-business bankruptcies filed in the same year.2 From the perspective of this column, which attempts to characterize bankruptcy questions by reference to quantitative information, Prof. Lawless's work provides a useful starting place to consider some problems facing the analysis of the causes of consumer bankruptcy. There are also lessons to be learned about the relationship between the causes of bankruptcy and decisions about how the bankruptcy system should operate.

It will come as no surprise that, as a general proposition, consumer bankruptcy filings fluctuate with debt levels. We would be surprised, in fact, if the opposite were true."

Now while that says debt load causes bankruptcy (SURPRISE!), it doesn't establish what caused that load.

You ae very likely to find out soon what effect a national health system has on health care. I am considering what country I want ot emigrate to.
