This one is easy to propagandize. Just keep telling medical hardship stories . Who could not sympathize ? But just like that student debt forgiveness ;the unintended consequences outweigh the potential benefits.

As an example. If you are young and healthy . Why would you ever sign up for medical insurance if you know you won't be responsible for paying your medical debts ?
Obamacare was supposed to fix these problems ......right ? But as we know the REAL goal of Obamacare was for it to fail to be eliminated and replaced by a complete socialist system . Making it easier for people to opt out of insurance will hasten it's collapse.

hmmm I wonder if Clueless will try to forgive the Federal Debt with the stroke of his pen ?
