Yeah but sometimes it is an emergency. A midnight trip to the ER and a bunch of tests, couple day stay in the hospital, etc. Trust me, you do not want that bill. A friend just had that happen. 70k in bills and they keep rolling in.
“Trust me, you do not want that bill. A friend just had that happen. 70k in bills and they keep rolling in”
So what if he just doesn’t pay them?
My friend couldn’t work for 6 months (with Insurance) but still had to make the Premium payments....then they lost their job and still had to make the premium...’Cobra’ doubled their Premium....they finally gave up and went on some kind of medical assistance...and simply didn’t pay what was left of the outstanding bills.
They could not keep up with the co-pays...the premiums.. and all their Insurance said was “above what was customary” additional costs.
O what if Obamacare doesn’t cover what the Insurance Company determines is acceptable? What if they can’t pay because the illness has made it impossible to work?
There are soo many questions that don’t have answers.
My wife had many problems but we couldn’t afford any coverage until she reached 65. Then I bought a Medicare supplement policy for $150/month with $0 deductible and $0 everything else. I have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars this year alone.
I’d just sign up on day one of my hospital visit or have my wife do it for me.
