My spouse was recently hospitalized and we're now in the stage where bills with panic inducing amounts start showing up.

For those outside the U.S., if you have insurance you just have to let it go at this point and NOT PAY ANYTHING until the 3rd or 4rth notice.

Why? So the clinics and insurance agencies DO THEIR JOB and actually pay the freaking claims.

If you pay at this point, they will take your money and never bother checking if your insurance actually covers it.

100% best analogy to expose how absurd the US system is.

Imagine paying for Netflix every month, and
then paying when you watch the movie, and
then getting another bill three months later
because one of the actors isn't signed with
Netflix so you have to pay him directly.
That'd be STUPID right???

@internethippo maybe the people who want fancy things like food or the ability to stop being sick should be less selfish and think about the stock market
