> And those whose bills had been paid were just as likely to forgo medical care as those whose bills were left unpaid. This is an utterly irrational statement. If you don’t have medical insurance, you are just as unlikely to seek out medical care with medical debt as you are without it. This statement is just as rational as saying, “those who cannot drive but who had their car loan paid off were just as likely to still not drive as those who could not drive and had no car loan in the first place.”
