(11,757 posts)4. Busted! I swear, 99% of the time I read the articles before I comment,
tonight I'm just kinda willy-nilly. I have been out in the flower beds today, dealing with a lot of stuff, having Merlot now, and put together a couple a veggie quiche that are now in the oven. I apologize and owe it to you to read the article, before commenting. I appreciate everyone who finds articles of interest and posts them... Sorry. On it!

Who do you think the best Dem would be to address this morbid autrocity? This should be illegal. Thank you so much for bringing this subject to us.
Death bonds can trace their origins to viatical settlements in the 1980s. Spurred by the onset of the AIDS epidemic, terminally ill patients sold their life insurance policies to pay for their desperately needed, expensive medications. Their policy payments were taken over by the purchasers, who would receive the policy paid in full when the patients died.
