Most people would rather be poor and healthy than poor and sick?

My theory is people are more afraid of getting sick AND going bankrupt paying medical bills than they are of getting sick per se. This kind of data lends support to it. People losing money staying home, but prefer to stay away from others to avoid getting sick to possibly lose even more.

Congratulations American "health" care system!  You've managed to create a society willing to tank the economy to avoid medical bills!
