>>I know a guy who has owed a hospital $70,000 for six years now, does cause him any tribulations at all.<<

Isn't him supposed to pay at least part of it? I have a friend who owned some money to a hospital. At the beginning, they just paid $20/month for a couple of years, and then the hospital sent the bill to a collection agency. They finally made some deal, paid a part of it. They were just poor graduate students then, and they were saving from their basic needs to pay the bill.

<<You just don't keep any assets that are capable of being seized and wait for the judgment to eventually expire uncollected.>>

I suspect we'll see a lot more of black market behaviour on the part of debtors if this law passes if it is widely perceived as being "unjust". I'm not condoning it, but I think that'll be the reaction on the part of many.

Got cash? (and gold?)<G>
