Show me why you are qualified to judge that study. Hundreds of qualified people have accepted that study, but you know better. What are your qualifications? It isn't about whether I'm "qualified," and this perfect exemplifies the error you commonly make. I will tell you I have substantial qualifications in this area, but why would you believe that? And why would it matter? Which the Feynman video I posted earlier pointed out: It doesn't matter what MY qualifications are, or what Warren's qualifications are. What matters are the facts. What does the experiment (in this case, the empirical analysis) show? Empirically, just about every personal bankruptcy petition will have some medical bills in it. Why? Because bankruptcy attorneys tell their clients, "Bring me every unpaid bill you have." And back in the day, there always were some. She rigged the data by setting an arbitrarily low cutoff for claiming that medical bills were a "cause" of bankruptcy. Read it yourself. Anyone who isn't stupid can see precisely what was done. Because it was from "Harvard" it got instant credibility and today you cannot find ANY other study on medical bankruptcy, yet this so=called study had nothing, really, to do with bankruptcy. Only Warren's analysis made that tie, which was nonexistent in real life. A lie. So, that was my point. She's a liar. Worse than that, but it is enough.
