I can almost guarantee that nearly all of the 30% of Americans WITH savings have health insurance with an out of pocket max.
I can almost guarantee that many of the people without insurance are in the no savings group.
So perhaps I am missing something, but I am not seeing a huge group of Americans that have their wealth in danger by the current healthcare system.
- marcus_holmes 10y agoWait, what? so your serious answer to "the US system of healthcare endangers the wealth of patients" is that over 70% of Americans don't have wealth anyway? And furthermore, that the system doesn't affect them because they're not part of it? What do the 70% of Americans with no savings do when they get sick?
