Medical Bankruptcy: The Game

The kooky ways you'll go bankrupt thanks to US healthcare

Have you ever wanted to understand why healthcare expenses are one of the leading causes of bankruptcies in the US in a fun educational way that also lets you destroy your friends? No? Well too bad, this game exists.

The goal of the game is to avoid getting the Bankruptcy cards. You have everything in your arsenal from GoFundMe campaigns, private equity buyouts, and PBMs to make sure you're the last one to go bankrupt. Discover all the insane ways the healthcare system ends up making you pay while getting distracted by the cute illustrations that describe them. Non-US citizens will not understand this game at all.

It takes 5 minutes to learn the game, and can be played by anyone ages 5+ (though they probably won't understand it until they're 26). A fun game for anyone relatively interested in healthcare!

If you're interested in understanding the economics and process of making a card game, I wrote it out here.
