"taking into consideration existing monthly debts, medical expenses, and projected living costs, I feel the base salary of [$offered] would result in a dramatic reduction in living standards"
Whatever else you do, I would definitely leave this part out. It brings a negative edge to things that will give them the mental excuse not to hire you. Instead, do what someone else suggested and say you are weighing this with other offers, or, simply say "This offer is appealing, but I'm looking for at least ____k." It helps to be confident and to the point.
