For most people it takes a lot more than emptying out their savings to financially break them. And it's easier to have larger savings if you're paying less for your health insurance (because of a larger deductible).

5-12K can break a helluva lot of people....

Depends on what you mean by break. If you don't have assets, there's nothing much to break. It's folks with serious assets who are at risk because those assets can be confiscated to cover the debt. That's going broke. They're the ones who need insurance.

If by break you mean demoralize, then I concur.
