6. Most the people I know who are debt ridden, are so because of health care bills

Missing work due to illness or accident caused them to get into debt. Then the health care bills were just piled on top.

Most threads such as this at DU are blaming the debtor. Saying 99% of all debtors are bad people and it is all their fault.

I strongly disagree.

Many people are in debt because they have crappy jobs which have not kept up with inflation and some event such as an accident or illness put them over the brink into indebtedness.
