One guy doesn't much effect the economy, but if you have a large percentage of people in a town suddenly bankrupt, that can impact a lot more than just the ones who didn't have insurance.
So it's not just "bleeding hearts", though being nice to people that sometimes make bad decisions isn't a bad thing, I don't think there's anyone that can say they haven't made a bad decision that could have gone horribly wrong if there hadn't been someone there to help.
Good point about the mortgage requirements.
