    Choose financial. You live.

    Use bankruptcy. There’s a reason for it.

    Make payment plans. If you’re truly poor, you basically pay $30 a month for like 20 years and it’s discharged.

    It’s very scary when it’s a meme and people don’t know their options since it’s often gatekeeped.

      Hospitals also offer financial assistance and payment plans if you ask. Believe it or not, hospitals want you to be able to pay. If you can’t pay, that means they don’t get paid. Though, sometimes (this is NOT a guarantee), they may waive the bill altogether if you apply for financial assistance.

      What if you have to choose between your health and your child’s going to college?

      A healthcare system that’s not universal is so fucked up. It can’t be that it’s kept for people with money.
