I wonder how fast medical costs would have risen had we not had some 10 million Illegals leeching off the system.

Yes, the Houghs gambled and lost. But they are attempting to pay it as best they can.

What bothers me is this:
"A Superior Court judge has ordered her and her husband, sued by Lakes Region General Hospital for non-payment of medical bills, to make payment secured by an attachment on their home."

If this was not part of the original agreement/contract signed by both parties, it should not be added now.

Any party who has won a suit against someone for owed financial compensation can place a lien on that persons home for the money owed. It doesn't have to be part of a contract or agreement earlier entered into. The attachment is often referred to as a Mechanics Lien.

I always thought your home was secure and that they could not take that, even when you filed for bankruptcy.
