I'm really not sure how a median of $1000 is supposed to make your point any better.

I'm not sure how throwing around a $100k figure is supposed to make your point any better. If it's worth considering the 100k case of the minority it's worth considering the half of person's in these states for whom the debt is under $1k.

My intention was never to show that someone with $100k of medical debt could get out of it as easily as the majority with far less.
