Medical bills
« on: April 19, 2017, 03:53:31 am »
Are your medical bills piling up already this year. Mine are, I estimate about
$4,000.00 so far this year today from several doctors. I have several payment
plans setup, lol.

No, I have insurance and don't have any medical problems at this time.  I hope and pray you will feel better and be able to make payments on those bills because that's a lot of money.

Not this year but have in the past. My husband had terrible insurance from the co. he worked for.We had to pay 1000.00 for something he had done. He has Medicare now which covers many things luckily.

Not this year yet. I did back in 2012 and my hubby did back in 2006. Total bills we had between surgery, doctors, and hospitals was almost $300K, and that didn't include prescriptions afterwards.  We had crummy insurance from the company I worked for. They only paid 1/4 of the amounts. I had to cash in my life insurance policies to cover the other 3/4 and by the time I got the money, the oncology bill went into collections, which took our credit rating down to poor.

We are slowly digging out again but now we can't get any more life insurance. If I had it to do over again, we should have just claimed bankruptcy and be done with it.

That sucks. If I did not have Medicaid, I'd probably be dying on the street.

Medical bills are awful, they are way to costly.

No - I don't have any - and I'm ever so glad.  I try my best to eat healthy and get exercise in: be my own doctor.

lol NO.  When you can't afford insurance doctors won't see you unless you pay upfront.
