ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!! Try living somewhere outside of the upper middle class. There is almost nobody I know who can get out of that kind of unexpected debt. "Most people" budget for a car, and don't buy a new one at 20.

Nearly two out of three bankruptcies stem from medical bills, and even people with health insurance face financial disaster if they experience a serious illness, a new study shows. Among families who were bankrupted by illness, those with private insurance reported average medical bills of $17,749 compared to those who were uninsured, who faced an average of $26,971 in medical costs. Those who had health insurance but lost it in the course of their illness reported average medical bills of $22,568.
