I'm still baffled... who has never heard of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac BEFORE this crisis? If overwhelmingly, people have never heard of such huge American mortgage organizations... that's sad. Just sad.

I know there are plenty of "responsible" people who would love a job that offers health insurance, but cannot nail one. If they aren't qualified for those jobs, I'm 99.9% certain they probably can't afford to fit "individual" health insurance into their budget.
Perhaps the health care "right" vs "responsibility" is another one of those issues we can all agree to disagree... Add to the list with abortion, gun control, same sex marriage and capitol punishment.
