WR, I don't think you read my post.

Only a small portion of health care costs is due to catastrophic costs such as emergency room visits. Most is due to ongoing care.

You only brought up the portion of health insurance that covers the former. I brought up cases that concern the latter.

Only if you count any bankruptcies with unpaid medical bills as medical bankruptcies.
