- hellbannedguy 5y agoI am so disenfranchised with American medicine; I'm delaying a easy Chapter 7 bankruptcy just in case I get sick. This is not the America I raised a hand to. (Bankruptcy can only be used every 10 years.)
- mojzu 5y agoThe comments that get me are the replies to the insane bills along the lines of "don't worry about it, just spend 10's or 100's of hours on the phone/filling in forms/arguing with insurance reps and maybe, eventually they'll knock the price down by enough not to bankrupt you" Expecting sick people or their relatives to navigate that kind of bureaucracy to get the care they need and/or avoid dire financial straits just seems insane to me
