Opened a new bank account and got a christmas gift

of 1400 dollars worth of medical bills that were PAID went into collections and show unpaid. Merry ****in' christmas.

I've been on the phone for the last 4 hours getting the run around by different collection agencies and my insurance at the time. Fun stuff.

Hate to politicise this, but this problem doesn not exist in the UK . At all. Despite our commie bastard health system.

This is more of an error type of thing than anything else. It doesn't matter what's being talked about, mistakes happen.

Has nothing to actually do with our different health care systems. Has to do with simple human error.

Well, yeah, it does. I don't pay medical bills, so this is impossible. I can't financially suffer because of my medical system at all, it's just not possible.

why is it every time your in a thread you find it necessary to argue and brag about what you or your country has or does?

not trying to start a argument but just making a observation.


buzz if you let eh bills go for 7 years they dissapear. from what ive herd and under stand tho it dosetn affect your credit score to much. only when you go to get a house but they dont really look at medical.

Other countries just have tons of taxes and their governments are still in debt because of it. Makes you wonder why idiot Democrats would want that here.....

Persevere. It will work out. I had a similar issue many years ago to the tune of $20k and got it taken care of after 6 months... It turned out to be a typo made by the Dr's office.

Too true. I would rather pay out of pocket for great health care than to be taxed to death and suffer through less than adequate care.

Yesterday was a really bad day. I'm sorry.

I do gt upset by the idea of people forgoing medical care because they're poor, or ending up with a life's worth of bills. It's not really about the UK - France is another example of an excellent public run health system that doesn't rely on the private sector.

I find myself increasingly frustrated that America is rejecting the idea of healthcare reforms; I simply don't accept that the current system works properly. In both the UK and France the taxpayers' burden is actually a smaller percentage of GDP than the USA.

Sorry for cluttering your thread.

I agree with the need for a reform, Its just that at this juncture all the reforms that have been voted on aren't as comprehensive as what European countries have. (please note, i dont pay a whole lot of attention to this at the moment.)

I've been through something similar and I feel your pain. If they were paid it should work out. Not that that makes your life any easier, but long-term it should be all right.

No you don't.

(Note the smile there and don't go all defensive on me.)
