Keep on deflecting the fact remains that the US has 66.5% of the world's medical bankruptcies with less than 5% of the world population.  That looks bad no matter how much you want to spin it or deflect the fact.

Uh ... not to get into the actual argument but if most countries don't have a system where a "medical bankruptcy" is a thing then that percentage means nothing.  It's like saying China has the highest percentage of people who have a Chinese library card and then being surprised about it.

Also, many countries that don't have "medical bankruptcy" do have a fair number of people who declare normal bankruptcy for health related reasons with no further details.

That statistic does not have the impact that you think it does.  Otherwise, carry on.
