Or were was the bottom rung of it just removed? While a person can no longer legally be owned by someone, how do you explain someone that owes huge medical bills from a malignant cancer? Just to stay alive, they had to have a horrendously expencive medical procedure. Now they spend the rest of their lives barely scraping by so that they can pay for the privilege of being alive, trying not to lose the little they have aquired, while constantly battling lawsuits, bill collecters and being denied bankruptcy. Is that life any different than slavery?
