I have never paid a medical bill. Somehow nothing has yet happened but I’ve always wondered what could. Sorry you’re going through this. Literally, for the last 12 years, my (then new) family started accumulating bills, and right out of the gate it was like, “it’s literally impossible to repay this.” I wasn’t even particularly poorly paid at the time, but there’s no way I was paying a $3000 ambulance fee (an ambulance that the hospital mandated) instead of… um eating? I’ve never not been paycheck to paycheck so yeah, holy christ I’m in so much medical debt. Like, sorry for trying to stay alive in your capitalist prison of horrors beyond my comprehension. Trust me, we both wish I were dead.
