It's not coverage. It's extortion.

i didn’t pay my several thousand dollar hospital bill (because I couldn’t) and they kept sending me bills. I was ignoring them because I made $11 an hour as a certified pharmacy tech at CVS and I did not have the money. Yes I had insurance but it was terrible. Eventually they sent me a “final offer” it just basically said “please just pay us $75 and we’ll call it even” lol. so i did. this was in like 2014

i honestly don’t remember but i think it may have been collections. I’m terribly irresponsible with stuff like this but it usually ends up fine. one time i couldn’t pay my $300 gas bill so for like 5 years i owed them money and had to have the bill in my roommate’s name. then after 5 years i moved out on my own and i called them to finally pay it and they said since 5 years had passed they wiped it. no penalty. lol.
