My health insurance story.
Take my hand.
I haven’t paid a $3500 ER bill from May because I simply can’t. And that’s AFTER insurance.
My near perfect credit report is ruined.
I was at home incredibly sick for a month, refusing to go to the hospital because of money.
The American way of life.

We know she doesn’t accept Medicaid; I’ve scrambled to pay out of pocket for his 2 previous visits.
He’s on new meds & needs monitoring ffs!
An after hours text?
They’re not ready for me. 😡
I'm so sad for you, your son, all of us.
And for sure, chew their ass for this since they know you pay out of pocket
DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU or 🇨🇦❗
They only care about what THEY CAN GET❗
🛑 Being CONNED by CONS❗
Stand up for 🇨🇦 & our FREEDOMS!
Our kids DESERVE the Democracy we had, throughout our lives!🪶
Cons around the 🌎
want to join Dictatorships

WTFU
Dentists rarely take Medi-Cal coverage and by the fact that they need to have a public license they ought to be required to do so to some extent. What they'll say is that they already have enough but they have none.
The appt went on as scheduled. 😌
If we don’t advocate for our children, then who?
It happened.
It’s still happening.
But go on with your “but a bill was passed” yada yada bullshit.
Welcome to most of our real world experiences.
Kisses.
Thank you!🙏🏽
I was apprehensive about sharing something so personal but I’m glad I did. Reading y’all’s stories has truly touched my heart.
As a healthcare activist, I promise to keep y’all informed of upcoming events to change this narrative.👇🏽
My heart goes out to you and your family
(Don’t do Dr. Google, I beg.)
By the time my fiancé rushed me to the ER (ambulance? who can afford her), we no longer knew wtf I was throwing up as I hadn’t eaten or kept anything in my system for weeks.
Ulcerative colitis. Boom.

The healthcare industry hates it.
Do look into alternative cures.
Labs taken were never used (urine test remained on counter).
Ulcerative Colitis requires followup care and treatment. Haven’t done any of that; illness in our country is a lucrative business at our expense.

Also, I know in my state at least, your credit score can’t be impacted by health bills. So check that out for your state. Maybe it’s a national law.
And finally, you’ve been through so much; I hope you get some time for yourself.
Bankrupt in 3 years, and I worked for a Fortune 500 AEROSPACE company.
Just sucks watching them refine new ways to deny things for more and more people. I get the "drain the swamp", "cut the red tape" mindsets, but the folks in the positions to do so are just gonna do it for their cronies. George Carlin was right. We ain't them.
So I’m simply paying $10 here and there because my son’s 42nd surgery is on the horizon and, of course, his longtime surgeon has been dropped from his insurance plan.

Medical bills never affect your credit.
So take it easy.
Hey, if it ends under Trump & we get universal healthcare, he’ll have done something great.
But the plan is to privatize everything. So I predict healthcare will get worse & more people will go bankrupt or die.
I GET it.
But it’s never, not once, tempted me to unalive anyone.
Vigilante justice is just not my jam.
We rise up in a productive, proactive manner against profits over people.
In solidarity with all immunocompromised warriors. ✨💫

We do child care the same way. You're silly enough to become a parent? Now you're on the hook
Know how much your voice is appreciated and needed!
I’m so very sorry that you and your son have had such a steep road… May peace find you.
-decent health insurance, too. Sending love and light.

I think you've experienced the frustration; perhaps you don't fully understand it, or haven't yet embraced it.
The Adjuster won't be the first, and he isn't the last.

Just another way to fick you over !!
In the USA.
1.Shut Down The Federal Government
2. National Strike. Shut it ALL down
3. States start parallel services and contract federal workers.
4. States from coalitions
National guards take security roles
5. National Divorce. Assets shared w/states
I’m so sorry you and your son are going through this. No one should be a victim of the profit-driven healthcare system. You’re an inspiration.
We need Medicare for all, and government capping pharmaceutical costs.
To deny that is to repeat history.
Is there a downside to naming and shaming the ins. company? Do they retaliate?
Canadians complain about the healthcare systems, but it works!
Republicans want to do away with the CFPB. Call your senators and tell them you want it to remain.
Your car insurance doesn't tell you what you can drive, or how much you can drive it.
It is a privatized medical management in leau of a real one. Really the US doesn't have medical insurance at all.
Respectfully, it’s my report; I know what’s on there?
Where there’s a will (to try and squeeze more money from a rock), there’s a way.

I’m my son’s f/t home healthcare attendant; TX ranks 48th in home heathcare wages. I’m below the poverty level.
It’s untenable.
- a viewing
- Funeral Mass
- casket
- cremation
It was $15,000.
Don't know what they do if you don't have it.
Ask any American and it happened to them or someone they know. I really hope the anger about this produces results. We have a history of outrage followed by some gain, then it slowly fading....
Yet another thing nobody thanked Biden for.
Guaranteed to be overthrown again.
Won disability (bipolar disorder), they remove me from Medicaid, which covered everything, to Medicare, which has these insane copays. I'm on a fixed income! Everyone will just have to wait until I have it.Oh and forbid you need inpatient. Insurance only kicks in after a week
Focus instead on the relationship between the patient and their care provider and cover those costs directly and competitively!
I’ve never seen medical bills show up on credit reports. Can you share how they did?
Too many stories, too fucking many of these stories.
Too many corrupt politicians and greed
My empathy Lisa, wish I could offer more. This shit is wrong
Check out this lady Dr.Babara O'Neil - she has some great information on taking care of one's own health.
Most don’t try to kill those seeking healthcare…
It is so wrong ‼️‼️
some of us deserve to die

It is mind boggling to me that the world's greatest economy cannot (or will not) care for it's own people.
The other belongs to a union. Different story for her family.
This is inhumane.
It is fucking insane just how dangerous this way of life is here.
Many don't every realize it until they get older and see the writing on the wall.
The US should easily have the lowest morality rate on earth.

If you need to get your credit pulled for a loan, a day or so before applying, go into the credit union websites & dispute every debt. They'll temporarily remove it while investigating & it will inflate your credit score for the next few days
Implant cost $35, and we pay $35 per day for a private in-patient room.
