Do you get phone calls from bill collectors?

WTF am I supposed to do when I have no money? It's medical bills. A day in the hospital is almost $10,000 and I don't have it. I tried paying them monthly but to them it wasn't enough and they sent my bills to collections anyway. I HATE AMERICA.

Capitalism at its finest. Drug manufacturers and insurance companies run Texas. And the rest of the country but d everything is bigger in Texass. Including the screwing without a bite on the back of the neck.. When Reagannomics was creating its recession insurance companies were still building high rises. With nonunion labor. Sorry about your experience. I never did co- pays very often. They can't jail you. And I've never had much trouble getting a credit card or car loan. Sorry you hit on a pet peeve of mine.

@kentex35 tbh i think insurance companies in the end will be the one to improve the system because they will want more clients that stay healthy and off meds and out of hospitals.. they dont have as much lobbying power as drug companies and processed food companies though.. their stake in this is more about keeping universal healthcare away

@PinkPowerRanger there are so many elderly here. I mean so many. It sounds ridiculous to say but it's true. And they can make a fortune off of them.

@StokedFox you're right of course. I'm not a greedy person but sometimes I think I'd rather bee sad in a Cadillac than happy on a bus. Crazy huh.

You know I'm teasing.

@kentex35 sometimes I know I'd be happier living in my van than trying to keep up with this world.
