> Are you arguing that it's not 50%, but more like 40%? Because I wasn't attempting an exact figure. You gave me a median number that is under a Bronze plan's deductible. One concussion will bankrupt them. A childbirth will throw them into $10Ks of debt. OK then say that! The made up $500 emergency number is not true and thus not an effective argument. The precariousness and contingency of healthy and self-sufficient life as regards $5-10,000 emergencies absolutely is an effective argument! You take my statement of fact as a statement of opinion counter to yours when we are probably closer than you'd think. Funny enough it was getting my wages garnished to pay for the MRI that my insurance didn't cover after I got a concussion when I was hit by a car on my bike commute that got me really into politics that demand we apply material analysis to material conditions, if you catch my meaning.
