    At whose expense?
    All those who do pay will now pay much more. This is no favor this is a moral hazard, a giveaway to those who take advantage of the system. The same goes on in NY on electric bills. As long as people live in a home elecricity may not be cut. So you buy a house intend to live there twenty, thirty years, why pay electric bills? They can't cut you off, they can send you to collections & you laugh back at them. That just makes everyone who does pay, have to pay more.
    These liberals are not doing us any favors, just punishing the people who are honest & do the right thing.
    Those who got their debt abolished will continue not paying, and those of us stupid enough to pay will be paying their bills.
    Transfering the bill from the non-payers to the payers. No favor here. This is a moral hazard.

    1. If you understood the scam that is the electricity companies, or the medical industry, you wouldn't write things like this.

      There isn't this company providing a service in the capitalist system, with the moochers not bothering to pay their bills. The entire system is a scam, it's a mockery of the concept of capitalism and free markets.
