Makes sense. You piss off the financial institutions by defaulting, they cut off your lifeline.
Just keep a decent credit score fools!

Not true. Please fact check the propaganda before you pass it along.

The problem with the banking industry is that they deliberately try and lead people into a debt trap.
how to spot a disinfo agent in 3 steps:
1) credit is placed on the vatican for manipulating the markets and secretly directing western governments.
2) absolutely no mention of Rothschild.
3) use of idealistic expressions placing emphasis on the power and awareness of the people, and voicing optimistic forecasts of the inevitable decline of the super-elite, i.e. so inevitable you probably won't have to lift a finger.

More like bite the pillow, nobody can afford lube now.
A representative for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday credit scores have nothing to do with insurance rates under the Affordable Care Act. “Insurers are not allowed to factor in credit scores when setting premiums and at no point in the process are peoples’ scores accessed,” the HHS representative wrote in an e-mail response to questions from Local 6.
Local 6 confronted Packham on Wednesday and asked her, “How does someone in your position get that wrong?”
“So I misspoke yesterday,” she said. “I realize I made a mistake.”

Credit scores impacting new Affordable Care Act insurance plans
Well we *KNEW* this was coming sooner or later.
A day after saying that anyone signing up for the Affordable Care Act had to provide their credit score, the lead Navigator admitted that she had been providing factually incorrect information to the public.

“Insurers are not allowed to factor in credit scores when setting premiums and at no point in the process are peoples’ scores accessed,” the HHS representative wrote in an e-mail response to questions from Local 6.
Packham wouldn’t say how she came up with such a detailed – and completely wrong – explanation for the question about credit checks.
Many people signing up for health care in Florida through the Affordable Care Act have been shocked when they have to give proof of their credit score before they finish the process.
Anne Packham, one of many people licensed by the state to help people navigate the government's website, said on Tuesday that the credit check occurs so providers can make an educated decision about who to insure.
"If someone is defaulting on all of their bills they may not want to have them as part of their health plan," said Packham, the lead Navigator in Florida.
Participants with low credit scores could end up paying higher premiums, according to Packham, who said that ultimately the insurance company makes the call.
The government website healthcare.gov has regularly been bogged down, oftentimes showing users a message saying, "We have a lot of visitors on the site."
Smokers, obese folks, those who have credit issues all cost insurance companies extra money and should pay more I guess. Sounds legit.

Voting for Obama in 2008 was blind optimism. Voting for Obama in 2012 is just plain ignorance.
