I ask because when I googled this, the 60% came up citing medical reasons...not actual medical debt.  I also found an article claiming it to be 60% and linking to a study but the study itself said medical debt was the cause 29% of the time.  Though i only googled for about 10min.   

Don't get me wrong, I'm not disagreeing about the value here for people (versus other countries)...but that also makes me curious to see the study.  If our govt programs were designed for everyone then it would be a good study.  However, they're not designed for everyone....they're designed for people with specific needs....and for the most part, the people that need these programs the most are low income earners.  

I admit I didn't delve deep into it, it may just be medical reasons, but that's still something that goes into that cycle of "lack of funds, goes to collections, accrues interest, lack of funds etc" loop that makes it hard for people to keep up with.

I'm not making any hard and fast scientific claims at the moment, it's just the general medical debt piling up and the trend of people using stuff like gofundme for medical bills that makes me postulate thusly.
