That's what you can do for Main Street. Keep people in their homes who are about to lose them through no fault of their except for the awful circumstance that they had the misfortune to get ill. Or keep people without homes from having to go through bankruptcy for the same reason.

NO BANKRUPTCY DUE TO MEDICAL EXPENSES!!! Government bailout for everyone in that situation.

4. That is no fix.
That is a band aid.

What suffering will a person go through before they get to the desperation of bankruptcy?

6. These bankers with their pre-existing conditions really burn me
I mean, they knew what wreckage they were doing when they were running around spending ... why should the rest of us pay for their lack of self-control? Honestly.

Funny how invalid those arguments will become now that they're aimed at those bastards.
