Juan Williams talked about people having to file bankruptcy (and losing their homes) in order to pay their medical bills last night on Hannity. This is the standard "sob sister" story that is always spun by the liberals. Close investigation shows that it is a small percentage of bankruptcies. Sure, people who go bankrupt have medical bills, but they usually have a bunch more bills that would have put them under anyway. Ask them about it and they will claim it was the medical. Better to blame that than own up to their real problem. Lack of character. You get in trouble on your medical bills when you make the decision that you would rather pay for cable TV than pay for catastrophic medical coverage.

You'll note that Juan Williams NEVER gives the actual background of some of the charges he makes. Having to sell their house because of medical bills????? Who is kidding whom? Did the people even think of buying any medical insurance? At the bare minimum a plan for major medical problems....??? One of my sisters has that kind of plan until she is of Medicare age...Her's has a $7,000 deductible. If the family is poor, there is Medicaid. So why aren't they on that? Or the type of plan above? And if all else fails, some of the hospitals will help with the bill and write it off as charity.... But then, we never hear the story behind the story, do we?
