What am I supposed to do with it. Buy a new pair of shoes? How many people will do just that. It seems to me that it should be remitted only when there is a doctors visit, or a certain medical procedure is performed. It says they want control, no the insurance companies. is this control?

It states per capita debt is $44,000 -- which includes mortgages, car loans and credit cards. By contrast, in 1982 per capita debt was a mere $14,000 (adjusted for inflation). This suggests that a family of four (in 1982) only had debt equal to $56,000 compared to $176,000 today. No wonder some people are stressed. Interesting article on stress from being in debt.
