Bank of America to let terminally ill woman stay in foreclosed home until she dies
Topics: Political News and commentariesClaire Findley is dying from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ... also known as Lou Gehrig's disease), and Bank of America, which holds the mortgage on her and her husband's modest home, has agreed to delay foreclosure until she dies. The fact that Claire is dying and the manner in which she will die is a sad story, indeed, but at least she gets to die in her own home (her last wish) and apparently banks aren't always as heartless as they are often portrayed.
As for why the Findleys lost their home to foreclosure, that's another matter. Turns out that the Findleys lost their house to foreclosure in March because Luther, a 55-year-old contractor, hasn't worked since the end of 2007 -- and he can't get a job because the income limits required for Claire to maintain her Medi-Cal coverage at no share of cost meant that he couldn't pursue new employment.
In other words, not only are the Findleys victims of a terrible disease (Clair ends up dying and her husband looses both her and their home), but they are also victims of both a jobless, staggering economy (a result of big government and over regulation) and nonsensical bureaucratic restrictions that set income limits on health without regard to the cost of housing and food.
Ain't big government wonderful!
