Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 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.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I know what you mean Ingrid. I am sending $10 to each copay and they don't like it at all. What can I do? Not a thing. karima 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.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I don't pay the copays any more . I haven't worked in 2 years. My health insurance cobra ran out and i'm paying 700 a month just for insurance. What are they goign to do get blood out of a stone I show no money. I tear up the bills and when the creditors call I tell them she's in a nursing home. I told the hospital I can't pay and they wrote the charges off.
