Some Hospitals Sue Patients And Garnish Their Wages For Unpaid Bills : Shots – Health News : NPR

Part of the reason , I sold my last house was due to

knowledge that Hospital would seize my house ..

I will post an summation of medical debt , listed

by a debt management company, that wasn’t doing

as promised , and taking all payments for their

services .

Hospital has their own debt program, and citizen

rarely wins ..taking cases, lawsuits out of their main

area , zero press..lowered payouts in lawsuits is a given .

$20 per month for life …

This reality provided by my caregiver who chose to

make me responsible for my own health care ..

That I would knowingly agree, to much of the spin

weaved is ludicrous …

What teachings, what lessons come from this debt

as well as the care given , are innumerable.

When patients can’t afford to pay their medical bills, many hospitals offer a payment plan — or free or discounted care. But some try to collect by suing patients and garnishing their wages.

High-Deductible Insurance Linked To Delays In Cancer Diagnosis And Treatment : Shots – Health News : NPR

US leads in hospital debts and collects at any cost .

Her employer offered only a high-deductible health plan; that meant she’d have to pay up to $6,000 out of pocket each year. Advocates for patients say this sort of underinsurance is snatching lives.
