- inferiorhuman 7y agoThat’s not necessarily true. They would rather get something than nothing. Who said anything about getting nothing? If the hospital sells your debt to a collection agency they get something. If the hospital deals with it in house they can act like UVA[1] and sue you to garnish your wages or take out a lien on your property. Playing chicken with the hospital billing department is a bad way to deal with medical debt. 1: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/uva-has-ruined-us-health-system-sues-thousands-of-patients-seizing-paychecks-and-putting-liens-on-homes/2019/09/09/5eb23306-c807-11e9-be05-f76ac4ec618c_story.html?noredirect=on https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/uva-has-ruined-us-heal...
