I know in the tough- guy- rugged individualism-cowboy- Ayn Rand- utopia- Shyster world money just falls from the sky but in my world when I'm sick it shouldn't matter and would be nice to not pay outrageous medical bills. Like all those other countries that have passed up the U.S. in the world, ah must be a bunch of wussy liberals. More and more people can't afford insurance and more keep dying but let's try be a tough guy. Hey, do you get any duals lately? Thinking like that is why this country sucks and will never get any better becasue middle class, I'm assuming you are middle class defend the corporate owners of this country. It would be nice if people like you could make a argument that didn't involve boot straps. You suffer from the Male Disease. Just keep watching the "real world" as your country and thinking like yours keeps slipping and slipping far before the rest of world. As the middle class keeps having meaningless arguments like you try to make and the owners take more and more of the money.
You fail at Adult. You went to the ER without insurance and now have some debts. An adult would come up with a plan to get more money and pay off that debt, not whine about life being unfair because you can’t force unrelated others to take care of you.
An adult would do some or all of these. First, call the medical provider and ask to set up a payment plan. Tell them they can dun you all they want or send you to collections, but they can’t get blood from a stone. Tell them you don’t want any reduction, just the ability to pay over time. Get a deal. Second, bust your butt on the income front. Get a second, third, whatever job. Deliver pizzas. Stock grocery shelves at night. Shovel driveways in your neighborhood. Work the midnight shift a Taco Bell. Get your income up. Third, cut all luxuries and reduce expenses. Live on rice, beans, and mac & cheese. Eliminate subscriptions and unnecessary services. Drink? Smoke? Quit; it’s too expensive. Fourth, sell anything you can. Take anything not necessary to live and put in on ebay. Got a car? Sell it, buy a junker for less, and use the difference to pay off your debt.
Money doesn’t fall from the sky. It would be worthless if it did. You have to earn it. That you don’t
want to earn it will not change that fact. Grow up.
Edit: And I did just give you some charity. It took me about 12 minutes to draft the above. My time is worth $155/hour, so that's $31 worth of free advice to you. You're welcome.
