The number one cause of bankruptcy in the United States are medical costs.
So? Most times bankruptcy is a strategic move rather than a last resort struggling move. A lot of times bankruptcy is a legal way to beat the system. Your argument doesn't mean anything. It is incredibly easy to get Healthcare in the US, like insanely easy. I worked at a job part time, not even in a union, broke my wrist, went to the ER, a few days later went in and saw one of the top orthopedic surgeons in the nation, when it was all done I was left with zero bills and paid nothing out of pocket. Bernie is lying to you fools because he knows you're simply that, fools.

And, all of ^this aside, while it may be the #1 reason people file bankruptcy, statistically in the US nobody files bankruptcy, it's statistically nonexistent. Like way less than 1% of adults.

Holy ****, you're insane. Millions of Americans can't afford health care in this country.

Yeah, Bernie's lying to you. But I like how your "bankruptcy" argument fell flat so you resorted to flailing.

You really should do some research so you stop making a fool out of yourself.
https://legaljobs.io/blog/bankruptcy-statistics/
More than 40% of US survey respondents are currently in debt due to medical bills.- At least 24% of survey respondents in the US are currently facing medical bankruptcy.
Medical bankruptcy, a way to solve the financial issue of not being able to repay your medical bills, is an American reality. A survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) found that 41% of American adults currently have some sort of debt from an unpaid medical or dental bill. - Almost 30% of Black households have some sort of medical debt.
A report by the National Consumer Law Center has found that 27.9% of Black families have some sort of medical or dental debt. In comparison, among white families, only 17.2% have debt due to health care costs.

Lol, did you even try to comprehend what you sent?
First you tried bankruptcy and that didn't work, now you threw out a random survey showing 24% of people are in some sort of medical debt. I had a $50 medical bill years ago that I never knew about and it got thrown to collections. $50. That's it. That qualifies as "some sort of medical debt." I'm sorry, but the Bernie Sanders fear mongering healthcare crisis in the US is simply that, fear mongering. It's once again a grift for voted.
Lol, keep going, what else you got?

Apparently you're the one that can't read. Look at it again. 41% of Americans have medical debt, not 24%. The 24%, or 1/4th of Americans, are the people that can't pay off their medical debts. They face medical bankruptcy. Your whole argument that no Americans have trouble paying their medical bills has been debunked. You lose.

You're right, I conflated the two numbers. Again, "some sort of medical debt" is extremely vague and means nothing. Also, bankruptcy means nothing, people can say they face bankruptcy or whatever, fact is the % of Americans who file bankruptcy every year is pretty much nonexistent, not to mention a lot of times it's more of a strategy than a sign of struggling.
Seems like your random survey wasn't so random at all, and was manipulated to push a false narrative. It's not 24% of Americans, it's 24% surveyed, and out of them we're just supposed to take their word for it. You are certainly someone who has no problem lying to push a narrative, just like all leftists, how much faith do we have in the person conducting the survey and the people responding? Sir, you're dumb if you keep letting Bernie Sanders terrify you.

Lol! Your first argument was "Ermahgerd, muh bankruptcy!" Which sounded nice in your head, but you didn't bother to look at it at all, because statically bankruptcies in general are near non-existent in the US, and are also often used as a financial strategy. So you shifted to an extremely vague poll as some sort of evidence, which then got picked apart because it didn't provide anything of value or detail, so then you once again went back to "Ermahgerd, muh bankruptcy!"
Lol, you're doin' great.

You implied that no Americans have trouble paying medical bills, which not even the dumbest of conservatives believe, yet somehow you do, I proved you wrong, and now you're flailing and saying that surveys don't count because they don't survey every American. So now you're arguing against math. If you want lose even more than you already have then just keep on doing what you're doing.

No I didn't, that's how you chose to take it, which was intentional because that was the only way you could try and argue against my point, to alter it mentally. That's your problem.

Then when Corwin suggested that countries with universal health care don't leave their citizens in debt and you replied with, "Fun, I don't know anyone suffering from that problem either!" then what point were you trying to make?

What he actually said:
Hey Rob, remember the last time one of your friends or family was suffering from crushing medical bills?
What I said:
Fun, I don't know anyone suffering from that problem either!
This is a factual statement, I don't know anyone suffering from crushing medical bills. I don't. You then decided to alter my statement in your head and take it as me saying "no Americans have trouble paying medical bills." I didn't say that nor imply it, ever, you have made a fool of yourself and argued your way into the retard corner in here and you're trying desperately to flail yourself out.

So you're saying your statement wasn't an attempt to refute the suggestion that America's health care system leaves many Americans struggling to pay their medical bills, but was just a pointless anecdote about your own personal life that didn't refute anything? Ok, I can accept that. Since you didn't even try to argue his point it looks like we both agree with Corwin that government funded universal health care is the best option. I'm happy we came together on this.

I'm saying Democrats are lying and Europeans are ignorant when they suggest that we have a massive problem in the US of people not being able to afford Healthcare. Statistically it's just false and fear mongering. I see you're desperately trying to flail out of this because every one of your arguments you presented here was stupid and vague and actually disproved your false narrative.

I showed you evidence that proved my argument and I could provide plenty more if you really need it. Feel free to provide evidence to support your argument at any time.

Lol, no you didn't! All you did was first say muh bankruptcy to where I showed you that statistically nobody files bankruptcy so that argument doesn't work, then you posted an extremely vague poll that proved nothing. Did you guys change the definition of the word "evidence" as well? You guys on the left tend to change definitions quite a bit for political reasons, so Mayne I'm not up to date.

"Statistically no one files for bankruptcy." Lol. According to the data I saw about half a million families a year file for bankruptcy. 2/3rds of them are filing for bankruptcy due to being unable to pay for their medical expenses. In countries with universal health care coverage that doesn't happen, which was Corwin's point. They also don't face medical bankruptcy, which according to the survey I showed, 1/4th of Americas do. I'm sorry, but those are the facts. If you have a source to refute any of what I said then do so. If you don't, then just keep resorting to desperate ad hominem attacks.
