This isn't true. A certain well-known politician made this claim, but it turns out she counted everyone who had medical debt when they declared personal bankruptcy as a "bankruptcy caused by medical debt." If someone gambled away their home and incidentally had an unpaid doctor's bill, it's a stretch to call that a medical bankruptcy.
