Rick Santelli: Why should US taxpayers pay for losers to keep their homes?

[tyward]

I agree that people should be responsible for themselves. That said, it is a little worrisome that just over 60% of bankrupticies in America are caused by catastrophic medical costs. They work hard all of their life and lose everything because they get sick. I don't know the answer, but it seems just wrong. T

The pushers of gvmt healthcare are stretching reality on that.

Kratos, thank you for the article. It's very interesting and I will research further. I actually don't know how I feel about government run health care and I've studied it from both sides. Money has not been an issue for me for many years, so paying for medical costs really doesn't mean anything to me personally; at the same time I hate to think that our children are not getting the care they need in one of the richest countries on earth...
