this isn't a viable option for many low-income families, and anyways, your fate shouldn't be determined by how much financial institutions trust you. if your only option is to take out a loan to survive, then it's incredibly easy to be abused by these institutions and be stuck for the rest of your stuffty life paying off loan after loan that you had to take out to keep on living. this is not an adequate solution. bear in mind as well, if this becomes common recommended practice, interest rates will increase as a result, and if an industry is made out of it, it's very likely there will be a premium rate there as well.

Because there are millions of americans who don't have the luxury to 'pay what they want to pay for' since they don't have enough money to do so.
If I didn't have affordable health care I probably wouldn't be alive anymore because the hospitalizing asthma attacks i've had in my life have totaled up to around $20,000, which is more than my dad has saved up in his last 10 years of working
