I don't have severe mental health issues (although I do have them), but I am dealing with an undiagnosed medical issue and I am at the Mayo Clinic right now because of it. Before I came here, just from everything I've been through in the past year and a few months, we're thousands of dollars in medical debt. I am terrified of what the bill from Mayo will be. They are in our insurance network and we supposedly have "good" insurance, but how good can even good insurance be when you can rack up that sort of debt in under two years just so you can stay alive?
The for-profit healthcare system in America is the truly insane thing, far more insane than this woman was when she felt suicidal.
I think many Americans are unaware that you can still be bankrupted by medical debt even with the very best insurance.
All I can say is at least they don't charge you interest. That would make it even worse.
They don't charge interest yet.
As you know, these villains have purchased the laws that "regulate" them. If we cannot fix congress (and end the ability to purchase legislation), this will only get worse.
Yeah, it's probably coming.
