Two people filing jointly for Chapter 7 bankruptcy are entitled to equal protection under federal bankruptcy laws — including the automatic stay. Married couples and individuals are eligible for Chapter 7; unmarried individuals cannot file jointly. The automatic stay is a major reason why some couples file for bankruptcy.

On the surface, it appears to be a no-brainer. Healthcare costs in the U. S. are twice as high as any other industrialized country. Most large corporations still pay a big chunk of their employees’ health care insurance premiums.
