God damnit, I hate the fucking hospital. A vent if you can't tell.
 

So, i go to the emergency room to get some things taken care of about 3 months ago (got bitten by a wicked badass spider). While I was filling out my paper work i applyed for aid since i dont make to much money and have no insurance (my work does not offer it), and frankly paying 600 dollars for a doctor to say "Oh, we cant realy do anything about that. Just let it heal up" pissed me the ---- off.. They sent me a paper back in the mail saying "send in copys of your checks for 4 weeks" and requesting more information. So I go through all the trouble of doing this paper work and everything. I send them everything they need like the next day. havent heard anything from them in a month in a half. When i came home from work friday I see a letter in the mailbox from MQC collections services. THE MOTHER ------- HOSPITAL SENT MY ------- DEBT TO THEM TO A COLLECTIONS AGENCY >:( ------- faggots. I go pay the bill monday, because I dont want a collections agency on my ass and I dont want any marks on my credit. Then today they send me a ------- paper in the mail saying i have been approved for the program and there going to pay my bills!!!!!! ::) ---- the hospital. and ---- the doctors 300 dollar fee for looking at me for 8 minnutes and telling me he cant do anything (300 dollars for 8 minnutes of work = 2250 an hour) and the hospitals 256 dollar fee for checking me in and taking my blood presure.

Re: God damnit, I hate the fucking hospital. A vent if you can't tell.

I love canada

I'm guessing in front of your computer, talking ---- over the internet

Re: God damnit, I hate the fucking hospital. A vent if you can't tell.
 

First of all don't ------ pay the collection agency. You should have told them to contact the hospital because you applied for aid. ---- that ----. Hospitals can save your life, but they charge up the ------ ass, and even after you ------ pay them, they're still on your ass saying you didn't pay. That ---- pisses me off.

with the price it costs to stay healthy here in the states, you might as well just die

Re: God damnit, I hate the fucking hospital. A vent if you can't tell.
 

damn moron, they pay outrageous taxes to get so called free health care.

if you guys did any research on your own you would find the US health care system is gigantic leaps above any other countries

i wouldent think it would be to many "gigantic leaps" ahead of canada. The problem is that most doctors are rich kids whos parents pushed them to be a doctor for the money and nothing else. so all of these doctors are in the profession for the money as opposed to someone who did it to take care of someone. I would think in canada (lets say they do pay outragous taxes for this "free" health care) the quality of care would be better because most doctors would be in the profession because they liked it, and liked treating people insted of making the above stated 2000 dollars an hour. even if canadians do pay more taxes for this health care, i seirously doubt it equates to how much u.s. citizens have to pay for health inusurance and copay on visits and perscriptions. I was researching getting a health insurance pollicy and they were all around 130 a month didint cover doctors office visits, they wouldent pay for anything under like 1000 dollars at a hospital, and perscriptions had a 50 dollar copay. so its basicly like throwing 130 a month out the window unless somthing tottaly seirous went wrong.

Personally I think not having health insurance is retarded, and I'll tell you why. Yes, I think it is a rip off. But:

A couple years ago I had a snowboarding accident, long story short, they thought I had internal bleeding... they needed to see if I had a ruptured spleen, potentially deadly. I didn't have health insurance. They had to do a CT scan of my abdomen. Turns out they found nothing wrong. BUT the CT scan and examination was over $5k. I was stuck paying the bill. I got health insurance right after that. Health insurance would have paid that ----... anyhow, in the future, medical treatments and tests will continue to get more expensive, it's just the way the industry is. If you have any health problem or accident (that could happen to anyone, at any time) you're screwed if you don't have insurance. I know it's a rip off. But it could ruin your life if you don't have it. Or, you could just rely on the hospital or federal government to pay for your healthcare. Why don't you apply for welfare while you're at it? Or, let's skip the formalities, why don't you just take the ------- money out of my paycheck directly??

Yeah i ------- hate the hospital as well. Im 18 and i was under my dads health insurance cause he works for the county. In march i got attacked by a dog and needless to say it fucked me up. Ill see if i can get a pic or soem ---- but i doubt it basically i needed 12 stitches, ten on the side of my face infront of my ear and two on my cheak and they had to leave the puncture wounds open. sucked nuts. it was at my friends house and they are taking care of the medical bills and what not. we told the hospital that and everything and because they failed to file the right report and to contact my friends parents they sent me to the collections agency and at the end of this week this ---- goes on my credit report. Those fuckers are dumb as hell after telling them i got attacked by a dog three times in one night and having it filed three times in one night it seems that they think i was in a car accident i got to straighten all this ---- out this week.

with how much i have to pay for car insurance and rent. i litterly cannot afford health insurance. i spend just about every ------- dollar i have just so i can go to work, and i work 50 hours a week. so maybe i should get a new job or somthing. but around here i will make less than i do now and will work for a shitty business. so why dont i just skip the formailtys and take all the money back ive paid in taxes and pay it with my own paycheck ::)
