Medical expenses count for a large number of bankruptcy cases due to exorbitant hospital bills or time lost from work owing to serious injury. At times even stellar health insurance cannot protect you from complex disease treatment or expensive operations that can land you several thousands in debt. As last resorts people may dig in to their life savings, home equity or funds put aside for their children’s education in order to keep up with these spiraling medical bills.
