    Well part of it 8s not going to hurt your credit score anymore:

    https://www.cnbc.com/select/medical-debt-credit-report/

    Any bills under $500 in collections won’t be going against your score. Debts larger than that in collections have to be there for at least a year to be on your credit score and disappear once they are paid.

    We could fix all this shit by having the cheaper Medicare for All solution.

      $500 is nothing. My son fell and hit his head and had a small seizure from the fall… took him to the ER, ct scan, medical exam, anti nausea medication, costed $750 out if pocket AFTER insurance. It was like a $3k medical bill before insurance. For like 2 hours at the ER and a scan… it’s ridiculous.
