I payed all my Mom’s bills after she died. I don’t know why people think they can just let that go. Does anyone wonder why hospital bills are so high when we have a bunch of losers not paying for their families responsibilities. It is repulsive. No wonder Democrats are getting more and more in charge of morals. Even conservatives have become thieves.

The only bill I didn't pay was for the ambulance. My uncle's insurance was administered from an office in Georgia, but the ambulance service originally filed its claim with another office in Pennsylvania. So I wrote to the ambulance service, gave it the right address and asked that the claim be resubmitted ASAP as I was ready to close out the estate. After about 2 months with no word, I settled the estate.

About a year later, a clerk at the local post office gave me an envelope addressed to my uncle. When my uncle had passed, I filled out a forwarding order to have his mail sent to me. That forwarding order had expired, so by rights the post office should have returned the mail to sender, but since I was at the post office and the clerk was a friend, I asked for the mail.

It was a bill from the ambulance service. There is a rule that insurance claims mist be submitted no later than one year from the date of service. The ambulance service waited too long, so its claim was denied and now the ambulance service was trying to collect from my uncle.

Family members thought the bill should have been paid anyway, but I said ________ them. The company didn't listen to me and waited too long to resubmit, so tough tookies.

By the way, said ambulance service later got into trouble over alleged Medicare fraud. Another ambulance service has taken its place.
