This is not a country, this is a money laundering scheme for big businesses pretending that charging someone to save their life isn’t ill gotten gains
Btw the info of the hospital that did this is as follows:
Legacy Emanuel Medical Center
Phone: 503-415-5600
Address: 2801 N. Gantenbein Ave. Portland, OR 97227
Would be a shame if they had to hear people were upset by this
I never pay medical bills.
What are you going to do?????? Untreat me? You already gave me the medicine stupid lol
honestly not a bad tactic. I hate how so many Americans carry this guilt around towards unpaid bills and shit even if they are being ripped off or scammed. The most cowed people on earth with that stuff, they'll work themselves to death paying a debt when the rational thing to do is to tell any creditors to fuck off. Feel like society would improve significantly if Americans used their guns to shoot more creditors.
That was one of Graeber's main points in Debt: the first 5000 years, debt is a perfect way to turn relations of violence on their head, making the oppressor seem the victim, and the victim seem to be the one in the wrong.
For real, isn't the justification for paying interest on debt to cover for the risk of not getting your money back? Well, tough shit, assholes. Statistics sends its regards.
Aren't there any nasty things they can do to you if you don't pay?
Nothing nastier than me losing 1000s of dollars for something they already gave me
What are they gonna do? Lower my credit score? I can’t afford a house anyway. Suck my whole peepee
