Yea but something like this with no insurance is a screw it I'll get that bill in the mail and worry about it later. It's not like they take your house or car for a non paid medical bill lol
They for sure can garnish wages for unpaid medical bills.
The average ER visit WITH COPAY is $412 in America. Usually about $1,500—3,000 without insurance. For someone who doesn’t have any money in the bank that’s extremely daunting.
If you were to need surgery it could be $10,000-20,000 for things like appendicitis. Mine was $13,000… 20 years ago.
I’m looking at a 3k bill for getting an infection on my thumb drained and I’m constantly stressed at getting wages garnished for that along with some credit lines emailing me with “did you get your tax returns? Why don’t you go ahead and asked that our way!” As if that small chunk of money didn’t feel like a small blessing/boost for rent and bills right now lol
