There are laws that have made healthcare and education
costs unsustainable and anti-discrimination laws and regulations that caused
the 2008 Meltdown.
The Emergency Medical and Treatment Labor
Act (EMTLA) passed by Congress in 1986 explicitly forbids the denial of care to
indigent or uninsured patients based
on a lack of ability to pay.

Plyler v. Doe, a
1982 Supreme Court case that affirmed all children are guaranteed equal access
to a basic public education regardless of their immigration status.

The Community Reinvestment Act 1993 forced lenders to give
mortgages to unqualified buyers based on minority population data by zip code.
HUD anti-discrimination rules also required the same. This caused the 2008
financial meltdown. Bad mortgages were converted into securities and the
mortgages failed making the securities worthless.
