Harvard Medical-Bankruptcy Study

Interesting how the lie about medical debt as the major cause of bankruptcy is now being repeated by the MSM as if it were Gospel. And they wonder why they're losing viewers/readers?

Gail Heriot on Harvard Medical-Bankruptcy Study on National Review Online: "Some bankruptcies are caused by crushing medical debt. But they aren't half of all bankruptcies, and the only way to create the impression they are is to jimmy the figures. For example, the study classifies 'uncontrolled gambling,' 'drug addiction,' 'alcohol addiction,' and the birth or adoption of a child as 'a medical cause,' regardless of whether medical bills are involved"
