Not just because they're creepy and smell like death and antiseptic.

My Husband had chest pains and had to go to the hospital near our house. Don't worry he's fine, just hit himself in the chest with a crowbar at work the dummy.

Because he was at home when the chest pains happened, worker's comp won't pay for it so we have to deal with it ourselves. Either way the idiot Hospital sends us a bill for nearly 2k and then in small writing has the gall to say "Please pay total amount due in FULL at due date" which was about two weeks away from the time we got the bill in the mail.

Who the hell can pull 2k in two weeks?

I know that they say it to "scare" people and that really as long as you pay $5 a month they won't bother you but it's ridiculous that they would even suggest that someone could pay an emergency bill in full in two weeks.

In my opinion people shouldn't have to pay for emergencies. The Government or even your insurance company should cover it. And that's something that annoys me even more:

Our insurance paid a total of 50 whole dollars from our medical bills.

What the hell is the point in paying 50 to even 400 bucks (depending on your company)every month if they're only going to cover such a tiny amount? Might as well say "screw you" to insurance and just pay it yourself. Technically you save money that way. Which is sad.

We live in a world where sportsmen who run around risking hurting themselves are more important to the Government and general public than our sick. Really, if we removed Football alone and put all that money into hospitals, do you know how many more lives would be saved without throwing them crippling bills?

I guess the only good thing is that since it's a bill for a "service", you don't have to pay interest.
