Just because it is legal, doesn’t mean it isn’t punishable.
Conversely, just because murder is illegal… doesn’t mean it’s always wrong.
If you kill a man in the heat of battle you’re a hero. If you kill a man in the heat of passion you’re a murderer.
B-but if we had universal health care we would lose all our FrEeDoM!!1! /edit: left out “if”
We should all be playing more Luigi’s Mansion. Where’s my gamecube?

I’m still hungry. One was not enough.
So because she likely hasn’t the energy to sue, they just lie? Being raped is not an “elective procedure”.
He was just the face of the operation - there’s a whole board of directors.
Plenty more room for adjustments
If wishes alone could kill, there wouldn’t be a single health insurance executive alive within 24 hours.
I say just don’t pay it. Let them threaten you all they want, they can’t put you into collections for medical debt. Throw out their letters, block their collection numbers from calling you, don’t give those slime balls a fucking penny.
It’s not just about the money, seeing the UHC letter in your mailbox when you are not expecting it will bring back flashes of that night and that trauma.
It’s like knocking on the door of a veteran at random intervals throughout the year too show them pictures of the war. It’s dehumanising.
Is that true?
No, they absolutely put you in collections.
The debt falls off the credit report in several years.
It’s also cleared by bankruptcy, and they can’t go after your relatives for it, excluding your estate, and let’s say that if you have medical debt, your estate probably isn’t worth pursuing.
So fuck em.
Not legal advice.
They can not put you in collections (thank you, Biden). You can lose coverage, and have an opportunity to enroll in the same coverage on the next election cycle.
First off, how old’s that tweet (or whatever platform that is) you’re attempting to provide with “expert” legal advice?
Secondly: That’s about the worst legal advice I’ve ever seen. There are actual productive approaches, but crumbling up the bills and sticking them in your ears, while going lalalalalalala I can’t hear you? If you’re not even disputing the claim, then you’re about to pay the debt somehow, maybe even through seizure of your property.
Not with medical bills. Most of the time you can get away with ignoring them. They sell them to a collection agency for pennies on the dollar, you ignore the phone calls or demand proof that you owe the money.
And more importantly, KEEP DOING THAT. Sometimes, these collection agencies are scummy as fuck. I had an agency try to collect four times for the exact same ambulance bill. Same account number and everything, and I had records from my insurance that they had paid for the agreed amount and closed the account.
