@@MysterE95 there’s a reason the USA has the best healthcare in the world and why everyone from foreign countries comes here to get their work done. if you can afford it, it’s the best in the world
I’m surprise the hospital didn’t work something out with her. She should speak to the hospital administrator. She won’t have to pay the entire amount because she didn’t have insurance at the time.
Thank heavens we have the National Health Service over here in Limey-land! No demands on us Brits for our hard-earned cash every time we have to go into hospital or visit the doctor or dentinininininininist or optician!
Oh someone’s hard earned cash is going to it. Not saying there’s anything wrong with that system, but know that if you’re not paying for your healthcare, someone else is.
Was it sad that she was driving without auto insurance and smashed into someone? Could have killed them and then they're just SOL. This woman is a mess.
@Steve How is it punishing her? She had a baby she couldn't afford, so why should I be punished for that and footing the bill? Condoms and other forms of birth control are readily available, but I'm sure she's a good Christian girl and pro-life. 🤣
@Steve Of course we spend more, we have 100x more people.... Not to mention we have better Healthcare and all the medical breakthroughs in the world are almost always in the US because it's well funded and the rest of the world reaps the benefits.
If its hospital debt, file for charity care. ([Hospital Name] Financial Assistance Program) If you've already paid for it, and you are eligible for charity care, you are entitled to a refund.

I have $30k just for an appendix removal. I have a plan to increase my income eventually but don't wanna pay $30k. How likely are medical collectors to settle (or sue).
I could be wrong but if an account is in collections dosent that mean hospital has sold the debt to collection agency and if that is true then a meeting in person at hospital does no good as the debt has been sold to collection agency and its off the hospitals books now
Plenty of time before hospital send it to collections. You meet in person with hospital after service is done before you leave and work things out. Many don’t do this.
That's not always the case. With my own medical debt, because I had a medical emergency which resulted in using an ambulance, I have a debt of $931 and I've been unable to find stable employment and so yes, unemployed.
@@darex0827 I agree. It's also so unfair that if you're on Medicaid or whatever program, you don't pay. If you work hard and even though you have insurance, you can still go totally broke. It's all so messed up.

@Steve Healthcare no issue with me in U.S. I prefer being debt free,no financial issues, and retiring before 50. Also take care of myself. Sickness,drugs, and doctor/hospital visits, etc. all the time isn’t a goal in life for me to be that excited about. I also don’t want to be forced to live in project style apartment housing.
@@anannys there is Obamacare for people who can't afford medical insurance, but there are some people who don't want to pay insurance premiums, and don't pay the medical bill once it comes in either. Even dave is saying dont pay the full bill.
Why do we drop hundreds of thousands of dollars on houses and tens of thousands on vehicles at the drop of a hat but are appalled by paying for top level healthcare? The car note wasn't behind but the people that cared for her son aren't getting paid?
why does that matter? And who is paying their salaries? The cost of healthcare goes up for everyone when people don't pay because the cost is passed on to everyone else. Kind of like shoplifting.
@@cinnamoninit6028because healthcare is unreasonably expensive in this country. And ppl choose to drive and live in those houses. Nobody chooses to have an Illness and end up with a 50k bill
You type fantasy. How about zero debt before living abroad. Most people in the U.S. are broke with debt and can’t afford to leave or live in another country. You make it like you just pack your things and move. It’s expensive and not that simple to do. I own two places in Europe purchased in 2001. If anyone in the U.S. is moving to another country for free healthcare you’re will be living in undesirable places because if you think it’s expensive here you haven’t seen nothing yet.
Medical insurance sure. But car insurance? It’s illegal to drive without it. She just seems like someone who feels she doesn’t have to pay for insurance.
HOLD DA F*CK UP!?! 80K but another 47k.. that's 127k OMG 😳 that better be a small wedding event in a family's house. WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN YOUR LIFE?! Bruh!! 😑 Why is this man willing to marry you. You can't even buy a home
Medical bills are negotiable Dont pay in full Or even bankrupt the medical and the car without insurance Just pay the student loan and 7000 car thats it

@@melinda67 some people aren't bless to have a place of work that offers coverage like this so self pay is more reasonable. It's what works financially given the type of coverage offered and the health conditions of family members must be considered. Not everyone births healthy children
You’re probably poor with half your money going to taxes and probably living in one of those massive apartments like refugees in places like Norway with HOAs. You wouldn’t know about debt or owning your own individual house or land like in the U.S..

Dave,
There are a lot of little twerps I’m Hospital management!
Absolutely insane that she even has that much debt from that. Inexcusable medical system in this country.
Yes, inexcusable student loan system too!
Yes but should we work for free?
@@kiersten1535 No. Even in countries without medical debt, doctors don’t just “work for free” lol.
@@MysterE95 there’s a reason the USA has the best healthcare in the world and why everyone from foreign countries comes here to get their work done. if you can afford it, it’s the best in the world

Never had that kind of cooperation from hospital billing…
Yeah, many providers will cut discounts on the spot if you pay off a balance.
Thank heavens we have the National Health Service over here in Limey-land! No demands on us Brits for our hard-earned cash every time we have to go into hospital or visit the doctor or dentinininininininist or optician!
Only in America where we go into horrendous debt for medical treatment

Horrible advice. The debt is in collection. Paying close to the full amount or even half is paying too much
Unless they can retract the debt. Meaning if the hospital can pull it back out of collections and then it’s just an agreement to pay the hospital.
We are in tons of medical debt and can’t keep up with the rising costs of my chronic care.
I have $30k just for an appendix removal. I have a plan to increase my income eventually but don't wanna pay $30k. How likely are medical collectors to settle (or sue).
So good! Just what I needed/was looking for answers. Thanks!!!

You meet in person with hospital after service is done before you leave and work things out.
Many don’t do this.
Typically hospitals work with you on payment plans.
If you make a certain amount, the payment is around $500 a month on things like this. 56k like she said is not going to get you a low payment
That's not always the case. With my own medical debt, because I had a medical emergency which resulted in using an ambulance, I have a debt of $931 and I've been unable to find stable employment and so yes, unemployed.
Just got my hospital bill for $50k. My brain is short circuiting 😅
Shoot I thought I had it bad I owe 3k to collection with no car loans , student loans , just rent .

@@blackworldtraveler3711 believe me, I don't want "free" health care.
Boycott health insurance. Cancel it.
She pretty much did that.
That’s why she’s broke and desperate to marry anybody.
What is medical debt? Must be an American thing.
sadly, i wish medicial debt wasn't a thing
Great health care and personal responsibility is also an American thing.
It's the public subsidization of private pharmaceutical profits.
@Steve
Healthcare no issue with me in U.S.
I prefer being debt free,no financial issues, and retiring before 50.
Also take care of myself.

@Steve you also have death panels and the wealthy of many countries come to the USA for the best health services.
I think one lesson here is that it's good to have medical insurance.
When you can pay for it.
@@anannys there is Obamacare for people who can't afford medical insurance, but there are some people who don't want to pay insurance premiums, and don't pay the medical bill once it comes in either. Even dave is saying dont pay the full bill.
Obamacare costs me twice our mortgage. For a 13k deductible.
Even with insurance you're not safe. In the majority of medical bankruptcies the person actually had insurance.
@@labornurse That seems unlikely.
Inexcusable system in USA. So lucky I live in Canada.
A common remark from the poor living in Canada
Enjoy.
Canadian healthcare is comparatively garbage.
Why do we drop hundreds of thousands of dollars on houses and tens of thousands on vehicles at the drop of a hat but are appalled by paying for top level healthcare? The car note wasn't behind but the people that cared for her son aren't getting paid?

Are you also single? lol
Not to mention she was driving without insurance as well
I’ve been avoiding single mother relationships since the 80s. Seems nothing a has changed.
DR telling people not to pay their full bill because of lack of socialized medicine? I see pigs in the sky!
mortgage?

The $47k is medical debt. It’s not like she went shopping. Plus he has student loans!
Why is this man marrying you? That poor guy going to take care of your debt and a kid that isn't his.
Probably because he loves her? What a stupid question
@@harrywisniewski5017 my guess is he's a desperate simp.

Spend some time at the courthouse observing divorce and family court sessions and you might understand.
Medical bills are negotiable
Dont pay in full
Or even bankrupt the medical and the car without insurance
Just pay the student loan and 7000 car thats it
