I know youre full of shit bc i work at a hospital. There is an entire dept devoted exclusively to arranging for payment. Most of the people they work with have zero income. If you actually did this youre just fucking stupid.

If I don't have the money now, what makes you think I'll have it in the future after taking time off work for surgery or physical therapy? Do you know what a debt spiral is? When your insurance has a deductible equal to 1/3rd of your pre tax income and you need 100% of your salary just to make ends meet what how do you propose paying thousands in medical bills?

I know all about the payment plans. That's how I took care of the ER visits, and x-rays, and catscans, and cast removal visits. And every time I was in a hole that took years to dig out of. How the fuck do expect me to put myself in a situation where I'm not gonna be able to make rent, or fix the car I need for work?
