[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is amazing how many of the people who posted talked about medical debt, with a close second being student loan debt. If we could find a way, as a society, to make healthcare and education - two basic needs in a modern society - more affordable, we might have fewer people living on the edge. I believe in Obamacare, but I hope it really does help. [/quote] People are living on the edge because they are unemployed or underemployed. Student loans are a choice not a necessity. PP, [b]you could have a devasting illness and even with medical insurance you could end up bankrupt.[/b] Your patronizing solutions are just that.[/quote] Isn't this exactly the problem. [b]Why do we have to live in a country where one devastating illness can spin you into bankrupcy?[/b] I think we can do better than this. Oh... and a basic post-college education isn't a luxury today, it is a necessity to get a job with a living wage. Not all student loan debt is a choice. [/quote] This. And the sad thing is, everyone - I repeat, everyone - will eventually encounter a devastating illness. The question in, when. If you're "lucky" to make it to Medicare age before that, good for you. But if you are young and sick, then you are screwed. It's a shame![/quote]
