People need medical care more than once in their life. A great many medical care providers won't continue to treat patients who don't pay their bills [ER visits are an exception--but that is very high priced care and patients should be encouraged to use cheaper alternatives].
- NoMoreNicksLeft 2y agoI'll refer you to my original comment, which said this: >> Why would paying off medical debt help any of them? They already received the service, it can't be repossessed. It's not as if their medical credit was maxxed out and until it was paid down they couldn't do another ER visit. > A great many medical care providers won't continue to treat patients who don't pay their bills For the people we're talking about, they won't treat them at all without some proof that they're able to pay, and in some cases, payment up front. Paying down bills won't get these people further medical treatment. It's like you're confused, but I'm having difficulty figuring out where.
