Thank you for allowing people with crippling medical debt to still have the opportunity to get a decent loan for a vehicle or a house.

No, they're right. The last thing anyone in crippling debt of any kind needs is more debt of any kind.

This is a bad solution.

A good solution would be for people not to go into crippling medical debt in the first place.

I'm sure the mortgage brokers and realtors and car dealers and banks and corporate auto loan companies are happy too.

But how about addressing the REAL problem?
