As well as considering just health care costs also consider health care versus income. E.g. if a parent had to pay for a broken arm in the '80s US did they risk bankruptcy more or less then now?

Hmm... now I need a chart showing healthcare prices for the past 50 years as well as percentage of claims denied.
