>> I still don't see the Warren connection to NerdWallet. The connection is that NerdWallet relied on Warren's bogus 2009 Harvard Study as the basis for their own supposed study. As I previously pointed out, pretty much all of the claims you'll find, that medical bankruptcies are significant, are based on Warren's study. Because it was conveniently crafted to fit the desired narrative. Which means it isn't a "study" at all; rather, it is media hype fitting of the National Enquirer. >> If that quote is accurate, they didn't solely rely on the Harvard study. What they did was to arbitrarily lop off five percentage points of the Warren nonsense and say, "THIS is the REAL figure." And were you to dig a little bit you would find the five percentage points to be totally without foundation. A "fudge factor", as it were. They did NOT address the fundamental flaw that Warren put in knowing full well it would support the White House narrative. I would like to call it a "manipulation of the science" but the reality is there was NO science involved. It is an opinion piece and one that is blatantly wrong. If you're going to support this nonsense as though it were "scholarly", you really ought to resign from SI.
