Well i was laid off for a while and signed up for Medicaid.
I paid for it my whole life so i figured i deserved it.

Anyways a year ago i got into a severe dirt bike accident and had to be airlifted in a chopper to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. The chopper ride alone cost 6 grand.
3 days in a coma, skull fractures, broken ribs, collarbone, reconstructive surgery on my wrist, internal bleeding etc.
When all said and done 3 MRI’s and 7 days later at one our most expensive hospitals and much physical therapy later i received ZERO bills, nothing at all about it in the mail, it's like it never happened.

I guess sometimes it pays to be poor.

Medicare and Medicaid are totally different. Medicaid is for the indigent. Medicare is for the elderly.

Happy to have paid for all that for you... not!

Ever consider learning to ride?

I am sorry to hear you suffered such a serious accident and am glad you were able to get health care you needed. That must have been a life changing event!
