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.

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.

All right - I watched the video. A few thing jumped out at me. I thought it might be huge medical expenses (heart surgery, liver transplant, etc.) but it the wife has arthritis. Not fun, but not the bank-breaking health issue I thought of. Of course arthritis is pretty common at that age so it targets more viewers.

I also wonder where the eight children are in all of this? I know we all want to be self-sufficient, but I know lots of folks that take care of their parents, live in the same house, etc. I would hope that their family is helping them out.
