Ok, maybe it's because I'm taking a break from chasing down deadbeat customers, but if he racked up the debt, including interest, why the hell shouldn't he have to pay it back? What, because he's old and sick we should just say ok, fine, forget it? Granted, the reality of it is that the gov't will never see all of the money (blood from a stone) but the principal of the issue remains the same. He NEEDS $874 a month? C'mon. It's true that I'm unaware of what drugs cost (gotta love free medicare) but nobody living by themself NEEDS $874 per month.
Man, I must be cranky today. I've been phoning deadbeats all afternoon, and I have NO tolerance right now for people owing money!! Time to get out the baseball bats...
