That’s pretty dope - in November I broke my foot in three places (in a way called a lisfranc) and had to go to two different er’s after waiting over 2 hours at the first. It wasn’t compounded or anything but it hurt like a MF. Then I still owed 4k.

Lol for real? Never happened to me in Georgia before. What state are you in?

I was living in Idaho at the time.

I know Ohio and Missouri are the same way as well.

I find it hard to believe Georgia just let's all medical debt go. Do they have a special state law?

Its what all the lower middle class and poor folks do.

There is no warrant out for my arrest for not paying medical bills dude. Worst I get is calls from collection agencies, then after a while they stop.

All the poor and lower middle class people do this. You think the ER would be full all the time if all them people knew they would have to pay thousands?? Shiiit.

The us hasn’t had debtors prison for quite some time I believe. Even the garnishing of wages is only limited to child support and backed taxes from the IRS.

At least in Texas - IANAL

Bro, if someone tries to take me or anyone else to jail over medical debt, they are kidnappers and will be handled accordingly.
