Anyone else have an impossible medical debt that will never be paid off in their lifetime?

Max out the rest of your credit on survival supplies and go off grid.

I don't understand why medical costs are so damn expensive!

Can't you declare bankruptcy and start again clean?

You got one of 3 choices. 1. Negotiate with them on the amount, get it lowered, and stick to a payment plan. 2. Declare a medical bankruptcy. 3. Do nothing and have your income for the rest of your life garnished, and everything you own taken away by court order to repay the debt.

The worst thing that can happen is you can't have credit for X number of years and LOTS of people live well without credit.

Not third worldish as much as a bunch or corrupt worthless bought-off legislators who refuse to control criminal pricing

I know a few young people that have diabetes and have insane hospital bills because they couldn't afford their insulin and have ended up in dka several times

No, they won't controil pricing but they will make themselves exempt and force you to buy worthless health insurance that doesn't pay for shit

But they are all over impeaching trump for nothing

I think after 7 years they can no longer collect on old medical bills. You will only owe the bill until the collection date expires. They will no longer be on your record. Check into how long you have to wait for it to be cleared.

Claim your Obama Care already ! Just tell the Hospital billing office that you are fully covered because the last President said so and if they have an issue with that, tell them that the Supreme Court made it law. YOU are COVERED and should only have paid the Co Pay, which should not be more than 12,000 out of pocket.

Right! After 7 years they drop it!

No
Life is a peach for me
I am a gaziilionaire

Then it becomes an item for the taxpayers of the hospital district. Hospitals don't ever lose money.

That only works if zero payments are made. If you are making payments it stays with you. But if you stop and deny all contact with them, then yes it gets wiped off in 7 years. If they call you in year six and you admit the debt then the seven years starts over again.

When my husband died and left me poor and penny less I went off grid and lived a simple and quite life for six years alone on 68 acres. It went by fast and now I’m on Virginia Beach and we’ll off. It’s amazing what faith can do. Faith and prayer

I worked with guy who was 60 and had no health insurance and had heart attack. In hospital they gave him stent and got him back to health. His bill was 60,000 dollar. He said he couldn't pay even though he and wife worked and he had apartment building. The hospital made him bring in all his financial records after reviewing them they totally forgave. His debt. This was before Obama care screw up the health care system for working people.

My husband is really sick and one of the hospitals was taking us to court. We filled out the financially assistance with the hospital and our bill is taken care of and the court case was dismissed. He has more debt with other hospitals as well. Probably pushing 200,000 thousand if not more. I can't keep track of all the medical bills.

Yup ...I went to the emergency room 17 years ago because I stepped on a nail...they had to dig a chunk of rubber out of my foot, gave me drugs and a tetanus shot...bill was over a grand...

Never paid it... Never heard anything about it and that was 17 years ago

Corrupt government in cohort with hospital and drug company. Also lawyer trying get rich at. Expense of society

File bankruptcy. You can get rid of that medical debt with the stroke of a pen.

One thing to do is to make sure your children know they do not owe this debt. (At least in most states that's true.) When you die, if you have children the creditors will most certainly contact them and try to cajole them, using smooth trickery, to get them to "pay what they owe."

But they don't owe it. Let them know they can throw those messages in the trash and ignore them.

Its called bankruptcy, you will qualify very easy and it wipes the debt clean and in a few years your credit will be back to normal and no more debt to worry about it..

So tomorrow find a BK attorney in your area and he/she will do all the work and put all that stress away..

That's not the kind of debt they are talking about. It's all about getting the 1 million dollar plus unexpected illness. Most people can handle 1000 bucks. Obummercare only covers up to one million each, do people understand that? So it's not much help anyway if you get the big expensive diseases and operations.

Chapter 7 cost me $750 for a lawyer and all my debt was gone. 5 years later I am still debt free.

My uncle just had a liver transplant and the bill is over 2 million dollars. Idk how much they gotta pay, but he also has to take anti rejection medication for the rest of his life which will be over 1000 dollars a month most likely.

Just say you identify as an illegal alien, problem solved, no more debt.

And america pays to defend your country.

The sign of a deranged pathetic weak society.


We should stop doing that. End NATO now.
I'm sure we can count on your support in this effort.

The US can find several trillion dollars to destroy Iraq which led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people - just cos George W Bush wanted revenge for his daddy's hurt feelings - but you can't afford affordable health care for all?

The UK introduced the NHS when it was almost bankrupt after WWII - cos we decided if we could find money to kill Germans we could find a lot let to cure sick people.

Some sad stories on here!
