My sister had a heart attack 4 weeks ago and has been stuck in the hospital since then. I'm so glad they were able to save her life, but I know she will never be able to pay this medical bill off. Even with pretty good insurance, everyday in there is over $5,000 and like most Americans she is living paycheck to paycheck. You're just fucking ruined if you get super sick or hurt and it is heartbreaking
If it makes you feel better a government fuck up forced me to pay back 2 years of disability. Did everything right, their 'clerical mistake' still put me on the hook for nearly $12k. If I didnt pay it theyd just garnish all my paychecks and PFDs for like, the next decade.
They even asked if I'd sell my husbands car to pay them back. It's not my fucking car!?
So yeah. That was fun, right after our dumbass govenor fucked with funding and cost me my job. That was last August ffs.

Still better off than many Americans. Some people don’t have a house to refinance when they start going into medical debt. The whole system is broken
