I don't believe that most people who file for BK do it because of enormous medical bills. I'd like to see some facts on that.

its not necessarily because of medical bills.

its often because of medical problems which prevent a person from 1) working, 2) continuing to work in a job which pays adequately

ALL of the work I do now, involves people who can either no longer work because of illness or injury, or, have had to switch jobs because of an injury or illness which now pays less. Thousands and thousands of people.....

It takes the typical Social Security Disability applicant TWO years to complete the process.....in the meantime, if no other policies of insurance cover them for disability.....how do they pay their bills?

We are talking about thousands of people here.....

and then, there are those that because of the economy, are terminated from their jobs, unexpectedly find themselves in a very damaging divorce, have their business, homes and possessions destroyed by natural disasters like hurricaines....

there are a great many ligitimate and honorable reasons for BK relief
