Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for people
ages 1 to 34 and the fifth leading cause of death overall.
For the years 2005 and 2006, just over 50 percent of all
personal bankruptcies were the result of medical debt by those
with health insurance. A significant percentage of those listing
medical debt as the reason for their bankruptcy are 65 and
older.
