Thanks for being skeptical, looked it up because of that. Looks like the primary study people cite is this one, which indicates around 65% of people filing for bankruptcy cite a medical contributor of their bankruptcy. That includes medical bills (highest contributor overall) and loss of income due to medical issues.

I’d like to see what information you have that’s different though.

The person you replied to specifically listed multiple studies that do account for socioeconomic factors. Take a look at the second paper, and in the introduction you’ll see that they did sub group analysis for multiple socioeconomic factors. I.e. among people of the same geographic, economic, and ethnic backgrounds, those with higher ACE were at higher risk for a bunch of diseases.

Not to say that I think it’s useful to focus so much on personal trauma outside of therapy, I don’t. But dismissing evidence presented to you without engaging with it doesn’t feel useful either.

This is not true since the vast majority of electric whole home heating units sold today are heat pumps, which are up to 300% efficient [1]. If the power generation and distribution is 33% or higher efficiency, then a heat pump will outperform a natural gas furnace operating at 100% efficiency.

EDIT - Here's a video that explains it much better than I could, although it's a bit long, this YouTuber is great. [2]
