Obama mischaracterization of medical bankruptcies

I bet everybody was jealous of you there in north anderson....

And I would care why?

Another one of those things that we will always disagree about. Imo, trying to make people fearful of something is a power play no matter what your objective is.

I still disagree. Can you really blame the messenger if the circumstances are dire? Our country is in an economic mess. If he said that and it scared you, then it should have. As for the invasion of IRAQ it's pretty clear that we had no business there and GWB used the memory of those poor victims to sell it.  One is real and the other is smoke and mirrors. Apples and oranges.

because your ego is the size of idaho..........

And with your imagined understanding of the world around you, you posit that yours is not?

As I said, on this we will probably always disagree.

I am curious, what tactic is Polisi and other politicians using to screw us royally. They have spent more money in the last 2 months than the last 5 years. They have made it apparent that they don't care what the american voters want, they know what is best for us. Nancy has sold us down the river big time. She is linked with the Sierra Club and all other eco-nuts in California. She has let her power go to her pin head and is doing harm to us all. Just think if something did happen to President Obama and Vice president Biden, she would be next in line. Doesn't that make you sleep well. NOT

maybe obama got the ratio  wrong, but it seems that he was using the only data he had to work with.
i work with the poor. what i see is that a huge number of them have medical expenses that have been sent to collections, judgements, etc. and that is what many of them file bankruptcy for  is to do away with them. many times they will wait  years before doing so. in in the meantime they cannot accrue assets. usually they are underemployed or may work 2 or 3 pt jobs, or seasonal or temp jobs. they do well to feed their families. in our state just because someone is economically disadvantaged does not mean they are eligible for medicaid. there are other eligibility requirements for coverage.
