My plan is to get it via a hospital which accepts public funds. This requires them (by law) to offer a payment plan that works for my income level.
I'm fine with """paying $1M dollars""" via a monthly bill of $50 or whatever until I die and the rest of the debt evaporates.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> requires them (by law) to offer a payment plan that works for my income level Which is a rich-world perk. (That, to be clear, we absolutely should offer our people.) Side note: do you have a link to more on this law? Currently dealing with an uninsured friend for whom we’re pooling resources for a medical treatment.
- kulahan 3y agoCertainly - here's the CFPB's page on it: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/data-research/research-reports/understanding-required-financial-assistance-in-medical-care/ https://www.consumerfinance.gov/data-research/research-repor... Note that this is for lower-income households

- wing-_-nuts 3y agoI always wonder if they take assets into account with this?
