There is a new study out that suggests that more than 60 percent of people who declare bankruptcy are actually capsized by medical bills. More than three quarters of the people who filed for bankruptcy protection because of overwhelming medical bills actually had health insurance. Even though they had health insurance, many were bankrupted because of the gaps in their coverage, deductibles, co-payments, and other services that were not covered by their insurance.

But this study shows that most people who filed medical-related bankruptcies "were solidly middle class before financial disaster hit." Two-thirds were homeowners, and most had gone to college.
