   Really good information. A lot of people in debt aren’t out there buying TV’s and clothes. There’s no easy answer, but there’s help out there, including our company.

   I’m a dual Canadian/U.S. citizen living in the U.S. If I ever get cancer, I’m moving back to Canada

   If I ever got cancer, and my dad was already dead, I think I’d just choose to let Nature take its course. I don’t want mountains of bills and despair from not having enough money to pay.

   @crysta2k2 at the time i read your comment , i have heard of another u.s friend, who paid taxes for 37 years , is a very good person and worked his ass off , since he was 14. he is in a wheelchair, lost home and savings since the insurance company only covered a fraction of his treatment costs. he is living with friends and thanks to that he is having trouble collecting any kind of benefit. he got screwed in the ass, no lube . peace to you.

   Every year, I thank the Lord that I made it through one more year without getting sick or injured. As an American…I work, I pay taxes, I have insurance; I’m doing all of the things that I’m “supposed” to do to be a “productive and contributing member of society”, yet my yearly prayer is that I stay healthy. Isn’t that sad? Praying not to get sick. Wow. I’m certain I’m not the only one either.

    @odinmp5 Yep. Isn’t it pathetic? We pay all of this money to our insurance companies….and they turn around and screw us in the butthole (not even considerate enough to use lube….lol). And what can we do about it? Absolutely nothing. This is one scary country now.

    Capital One needs to be investigated for internal identity theft. Got card…didn’t have it but for a week. Fraud alert put on it for no reason. Called them.They wanted driver’s license copy, utili. bill, and the kicker, paystub/1099/income tax form all this to prove it was me. I told them to shove it when they would not accept just a utility bill and driver’s license copy.

    @GunsOfThePhoenix Um, no thanks, we’re good. We have enough moochers as it is. Not to mention conservatives.

    I am a conservative…..so don’t call me a commie for what I am about to say……I think it is such an embarassment to this country that we have no form of health care for our citizens. This government will always find the money to start wars & give billions away to support dictators but does not give a shit about it’s people…..and we really wouldn’t have to have a national health program per say…..a big tax credit so we could afford to buy our insurance would do the trick

    @singapore7773 wow. that sounded a bit like “separate but equal”…something else that was ruled unconstitutional. by the way, health care reform wasn’t repealed yet. look it up.

    @likemachinesdo yes the poor are equal. Just because they are equal doesnt give them protected status

    @singapore7773 the constitution also says that all men are created equal, does this not apply to the poor? they’re cutting it in many states. like mine, unlv (a college in nv) has filed for bankruptcy, basically. so was mine, but that’s not the case for everyone.

    @likemachinesdo its unconstitutional because no where in the constitution does it say the govt. has the power to make u buy something. the U.S. Constitution is about “limited govt.” I dont think the budget for education is cut…. i would be very surprised if that were true. Poor families should be happy to pay for something that is worth it, namely education. My family was poor. we had 8 kids. My parents worked to the bone to pay for not only education but whatever we needed. Poor is no excuse

    @singapore7773 so now kids shouldn’t be able to go to school and get an education if they can’t pay? the wealthy get tax cuts, as evidenced by this year. their corporations get bailouts, etc. and the budget for education gets cut. it’s only a burden because they made it to be that way. how is it unconstitutional?

    @likemachinesdo public schools the ones u say are no cost? Are breaking the backs of states across the usa. Los Angeles school district alone is like $100,000,000 in debt!!!!! so much for no cost. I think the wealthy pay taxes, not unlike everyone else. ( 50% of americans pay no fed. taxes!!!) The problem is Washington keeps spending and borrowing and spending- giving to their friends-.. spending is the problem, not taxes. Obamas healthcare law just got judged unconstitutional. so much for that
