You arent understanding me, I dont agree with either program, I simply think that the healthcare program will be much further reaching and be much harder to fix after it is implemented than buying up the mortgages.

We are in complete agreement here. The healthcare system is a problem, but is it the cause, or just a symptom of another cause? I think it is mearly a symptom and no changes made to the program will work unless the cause is fixed first. Its not the only cause, but the biggest contributer is indigent care, and illegals are a major part of that. being forced to care for people that arent going to pay for it causes hospitals to incrimentally raise prices on everything else. That causes insurance companies to cut benefits, raise co-pays, deductables, and rates to cover the additional costs.

I dont either, but irresponsibility wasnt the only thing going on. A major portion of it was complying with CRA (community Reinvestment Act) stipulations.
