Their house for $240,000 probably runs upwards of 3,000 square feet based on some of the other properties listed in the area. I bet they’ll be mad when Obama takes away the tax credit on the mortgage for their “mansion”. (Hey - who needs more than 2,000 sf anyway- right?)

I didn’t see the infomercial, but it sounds like they are having health problems. Whatever $ they might have tied up in their house or neighboring property is not worth much when it comes to paying off hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical bills if they had crummy health insurance.

I agree. I don’t begrudge retirees for living in a nice place and know that medical bills can be awful. He worked for the Railroad according to something I read, so who knows what kind of insurance they had.

They didn't bother to get health insurance, which is why Barack Obama is going to tax those who can't even afford a home so these people can keep theirs.

I feel bad for them. But I don't think that the right thing to do is to grab more money from others because of their errors.
