Re: Re: Print this article out - Medical Debt

I know. I wish there were real answers. I posted it only for you to have to

paste to the faces of people who really don't get it.

Have you checked out all the resources listed on the Patient Advocate

Foundation?

Look at their state resource listing.

Re: Print this article out - Medical Debt

Thanks for giving us the link. Yes, it is a good article. But sadly

it does not give us any ideas where to turn for help. My out-of-

pocket medicial bills (I have insurance) Have become outragious. I am

paying bare minimum to each one and it is totaling almost five

hundred and fifty a month. We can hardly afford this and are doing a

lot without. Groceries have been kept to bare esentials and making

meals the cheapest possible way. Forget about going to even

Mcs. And I see no end in sight for a very long time. But there

is no help for the middle class income people. I just wish that they

would figure out a way to help us. Ingrid

problem so thoroughly. Its probably a useful reference to hang onto

in case you are facing these issues. Maybe, it will help bring

sanity and reality into the discussion.
