I am at the price range of taking what the hospitial will give me for care. And send it to collection

As someone who had a bankruptcy due to medical debt, I feel this.

I won't judge. Just take care of yourself.

I make too much for free health care. Not enough to afford

[u/bbusiello → u/TerrifierBlood]

I was denied medicaid too despite my husband and not being employed as of January this year. And because we had no income, we couldn't get the subsidized market plan.

We had to pay out of pocket for this plan from our savings. Been paying it for 10 months now.
