It said 62.1 percent of all bankruptcies were because of medical bills. The researchers interviewed those who filed for bankruptcy between January and April 2007. It expanded medical causes to include:
Those who mortgaged a home to pay medical bills.
Those who had medical bills greater than $1,000.
People who lost at least two weeks of work due to illness.

Obviously up and down all the time but..seems accurate really. And makes sense, given the cost of being ill in the US
