I'm still waiting for my case to get through court......  by the time I get a judgement, the lawyer will get all the money....  |
You should have not paid them...Hospital bills are not or should be considered as personal loans.
They can bitch all they want...get a 100 debt collector company and they can’t touch you.
Besides you do have insurance..
We have hundreds of patients without insurance and bills get to half a million dollars and they dont pay even a nickel.
That is why Hospitals chase people who work hard to pay that expense.
But big hospital charge that to expense/write off.
They didn’t loose money.
