Re: question about medical bills
They cannot send you to collections if you pay something every month...even if it's $10 a month.

That's what I'm going to do.

My hospital bill was $5000 (total fraud) and they refused to reduce it. That was back in January and I still have not received the bill yet...they said that they have 5 years to send you the bill. WTF. I may not have the money in 5 years. I don't even have the money now!

So I have decided since the bill was totally unfair, to only send them $10 a month for the rest of my life.

If they are getting something from you, they cannot put you into collections. And if they try to sue you, a judge is going to be lenient on you for at least paying $10 a month. The hospital will look like greedy bastards.

thats good and bad. like that guy i mentioned Lamar Odom was on a weeks long illegal drugs and sex bender. fell into a coma. his medical costs were $1,000,000

dont think he paid. tried to look a few months ago no record of him paying. no news on it at all. hes worth $15m at least

likely dodged the bill. so then how do things work if evil losers like that can not pay when they certainly can. and should cause they are evil

I had a mason jar shatter in my hand. The gouge was small, but severed a tendon and nerve. The Urgent care could only close it with 5 stitches and refer me to a hand surgeon.

I was in there for about 45 minutes, My bill was $5,867.00

They will also get $10.00 per month, I paid $200.00 before I left.
