I'm aware that Rush Limbaugh said so.  But then, he's a drug addict
so you can't put much stock in him.

You saying they own property does not make it so.

Limbaugh is a drug-addled hypocritical moron.  Nice to see who you
trust for your "news".

I don't.  I have two homes and several small businesses which I built
plus some stocks and bonds.  I'm fortunate enough to have good health
insurance that paid most of the cost of two surgeries with hospital
stays and four months of chemotherapy last year plus five years of
continuing tests and follow up visits.  I know other folks, some of
them hard working, middle class people, who just cannot afford health
insurance and some whose health insurance doesn't come close to
covering long-term treatment costs.

Some people have had to sell their homes -- the single largest
investment most families have -- to pay for care after an accident or
illness.  Others have had to use up the investments they were saving
for retirement because a family member got sick.

I'm doing my best but I saw the bills for my cancer treatment and
realised that if I'd had a lesser plan we'd have lost everything.

Why, you're just a downright prosperous fellow.

Count your lucky stars.
