Completely false.

For example 19% of all bankruptcies in Canada are illness related just as one very obvious incorrect statement. Sadly most of these countries lack data, but the ones that track this show significant bankruptcies caused by medical illness

Similarly 8.2% of bankruptcies in the UK are caused due to illness.
