If you think more than about 10-15% the families in the US has couple
grand laying around they don't know what to do with, you are not
paying attention.

Hey, you paid a couple grand in medical bills.
It's not a big deal.
Are you saying you didn't have anything else to do with the the $2k?
Didn't think so.
Hospitals are billing plenty of people that much. And they pay up.
That's life.
Hell, they pay that more than that yearly for their cable company
package - with HBO, Showtime, and a few other bells and whistles.
Nobody has to pull out an antiquated checkbook to pay a hospital.
They can hand over a credit card or arrange payments.
Median household income in the U.S. is about $52k
$2k is less than 4% of that.
So I'm not getting your point here, or your numbers.

Average savings of a 50 year old is $44k. You think they are going to be
able to pay those big hospital bills.
