Not quite true. Many farmers are having a very very very tough time depending on where they are from. Many are losing their credit because of all the bank problems. And if you can't buy seed/pay labor until harvest then you are out of luck.
Here in California problems are compound by drought problems. Most northern California farmers are only going to be getting 25% of the normal water this year, meaning many orchards are going to die, huge loss of investment.

Well if the patients are out of money from paying all of their other debts, they might just default on the medical bills.
A patient can not pay their medical bills, but I don't think the hospital can refuse treatment because the patient has too much debt.
A hospital can't refuse emergency care, but they can patch you up and send you on your way. They don't have to provide non-emergency treatment to someone who can't pay.

That depends on the hospital too...
We don't turn anyone away, even if they can't pay and even if it's a non-emergency...the only exception would be if we went status C which is:
-Facility-specific loss of CT scanner capability, loss of x-ray capability or lack of Operating Room capabilities
-Facility specific in-house disaster such as a extensive fire, flooding or loss of electrical power
That is the only time we can refuse patients.
Otherwise even in the event of a major mass casualty event we STILL could not divert patients...now if you are deemed a non-emergent case you'll be triaged but wouldn't be seen until all the critical and serious condition patients were stabilized.
Healthcare feels the pinch too. People quit going to the doctor, they postpone elective procedures and surgeries, they outright lose their insurance.
But it's probably safer than a lot of things.

State jobs as well. Less spending means less taxes. Less jobs means less taxes.
EDIT: I remember reading/hearing news about high class hookers/sex and low class hookers/strippers/etc. The rich still have money, the poor always loved the strip clubs, its the middle class that decides they can't afford those $200 massages with a happy ending so once again, the middle class if screwed, or doesn't get to screw.
