Its ok there will be a bunch of people coming by to suggest this is respiratory failure with covid not because of covid.
Sounds like they’re prepping us for another try at Obamacare.
Never letting bad things go to waste and always arguing for your programs on the backs of hard cases are joined at the hips.
“Forget it, Jake. It’s Stockton.”
Karen Pollitz advises people to reach out to their HR, Health Insurance company as well as the ambulance company. It is the darnedest thing, you have people typing b/c to avoid using the word “because” and at the same time you have people typing out “as well as” to avoid using the word “and”.
Given the state of the Medical profession, (exacerbated by the legal profession and the political profession), Getting sick with anything serious is likely to bankrupt anyone who isn’t already on welfare or with a health insurance plan that costs thousands of dollars a month.
Covid has nothing to do with it.
What do you mean another try? We have full bore ACA now, and no one is fighting against it.

Yes, but they are having a hard time convincing people to accept experimental gene therapy masquerading as a ‘vaccine’ so they have to try to frighten with financial hardship. Having read through parts of the database collecting death and side-effect data for the experimental Covid therapies, I’d say this guy needs to avoid the vaccine for financial reasons too.
Leo should sue the hell out of the medical providers for poor treatment/malpractice. All the providers had to do is give Leo HCQ/Zinc Sulfate and Azithromycin beginning within 48 hours of initial symptoms and he would have been cured of the Covid Virus within 5 days at home That has been done to thousands of patients around the world with 99.6% success. Go get em Leo.
$7,000 isn’t so much. Most hospitals will accept payments of a couple hundred dollars a month.

Lucky the guy had some form of insurance.
Let’s do the math. At some point in the last year, 80 million were unemployed. That meant loss of insurance or incredibly expensive COBRA insurance (mine was $5600 a month from BCBS. I declined).
Most new positions were at much lower pay rates and usually much worse insurance (I was offered personal insurance for $1000 a month for the part-time teaching gig I had, that’s 1/3 of my monthly gross, totally unaffordable, lucky the ObamaCare tax penalties are no longer in place - that’s pretty standard for most software engineering contractor positions - $200 to $250 a week for medical insurance (KForce, Collabra, Mondo, etc) - as I’m mid-50s, with pre-existing conditions.
I foresee an avalanche of medical and rent-induced bankruptcies in September when the last stimulus bill and protections expire.
$5600 a month? I thought mine was bad.
The coming inflation will do that.
As for the rest there is actually no delegated power for the federal to spend money for anyone’s individual welfare no matter how dire their circumstances.
Yup.
$5600 a month? I thought mine was bad.

BCBS plan with everything (it was from MLB before the big covid furlough of March/ April 2020, same plan as the ball players)
Philanthropy departments exist for a reason. There are also ways to negotiate with your provider so that costs are covered, even if it requires letters from the doctors who administered treatment.
Been there. They can also apply for Medicaid temporarily, and they’ll cover 3 months of past medical bills.
$7k isn’t really all that huge considering. I was expecting to hear of bills upwards of $50k.
Sorry. My care meter is at 0. I mean 0.00
Just tell them you recently crossed the border from Mexico, and want to vote for Joe. All charges dropped?
