My hubby forwarded this screenshot to me from a GTNH Discord server and I feel it is valuable advice for anyone struggling with American healthcare.

    You want Americans to read all that, follow a several point plan, and don't fuck up?

    Even me, the only true leftist on Hexbear, sees that wall of text and my eyes glaze over

      It is a single-step plan.

      You write them to request a list of documents that they are legally required to provide if requested, the list of documents is numbered in that screenshot.

      Either they provide that information, which you can use to dispute the denial, or they repeal the denial and pay your bill.

      If you struggle to this degree with reading, I recommend downloading a screen-reader. If you already use one, my apologies for not initially providing a text transcript of the screenshot.

      I mean, I'm American, and I read all that.

      Granted, I am acutely aware of our education crisis, and put extra effort into learning literacy to compensate for the times I become non-verbal, but anyone who values this information would gladly read it. You don't have to if you just don't want to, but it's your own loss if you choose not to read it.

        I was being a bit flippant but I appreciate the tough love. The multi-tweet format in a screenshot is a little rough to parse but @AernaLingus@hexbear.net 's consolidation made it easier to read. Thank you for providing this information, comrade.

        Either they provide that information, which you can use to dispute the denial, or they repeal the denial and pay your bill.

        Or they ignore you, or lose your request, or forward you to the never-answering-the-phone department, or etc. Delaying tactics.

        Still good to know about and worth remembering, but it does rely on their having some degree of responsiveness and some degree of concern of legal consequences.
