Medical bankruptcies decline

Not just by a little either. 50% in the last 6 years. Most people would consider that a good thing.

Not "medical bankruptcies". How much of the decline is due to medical bills is unknown. The bankruptcy law was tightened in 2005 to make it harder to declare bankruptcy for any reason.
