You don't know that it is not the biggest cause of bankruptcy by a long way. There is, as far as I'm aware, one study. The study reported it as being 54% of bankruptcies. Counter analysis says 17%. In the 8 years since the year under study there, costs have significantly increased, wages have stagnated. The percentage of people with employer-sponsored health care has dropped. So previously it was somewhere between 17 and 54%. By all reasonable extrapolation it is likely to be a significantly higher percentage now. So where do you get your contention that it is not the biggest cause by a long way? Any actual facts?
