This isn't true. A certain well-known politician made this claim, but it turns out she counted everyone who had medical debt when they declared personal bankruptcy as a "bankruptcy caused by medical debt." If someone gambled away their home and incidentally had an unpaid doctor's bill, it's a stretch to call that a medical bankruptcy.
To expand on your comment, only 4% of US bankruptcies are because of medical bills <https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2018/0...>. A tipoff that [insert large percentage here] of bankruptcies aren't actually because of medical costs is that only 6% of bankruptcies by those without health insurance are because of that cause. The biggest cause of bankruptcies is lack of income, which health insurance doesn't affect.
Weak but not that weak as it’s roughly tracking the US dollar at 0.78 +/-. Benefits of its raw material/petrodollar nature. And others have pointed out a more aggressive move against inflation than say europe.
