You're correct my phrasing of "large percentages" wasn't correct; instead, what I meant to have said was that health issues in USA are largest single contributing issue affecting bankruptcy within our country.
I'm not trying to smear shit — I dropped out of medical school fifteen+ years ago and haven't myself had health insurance for the majority of my adulthood [decades+]. If I had a family, I would approach my insurance needs differently... but I just choose to opt-out (knowing this is not good for healthcare management, long-term).
So yes, technically you're correct to say that "The biggest cause of bankruptcies is lack of income." The best kind of correct [technical, misunderstanding the premise].
