Insurance stinks and now I am stuck with medical bills in an amount that is very discouraging. I humbled myself to call and ask for financial aid from one of the medical providers to find I make only a few hundred dollars over their income limit based on an income that I don't even bring home. "We can offer you a interest free payment plan. Do you want me to set you up on that?" the lady said. With tears streaming down my cheeks, I simply replied that is the only option. I've told many people that the stitches in my thumb come to $712.00. Come to find out, the physician has added to that number a striking $420.00. This is a total of $1132.00 that my insurance only paid $70.80 due to the high deductible insurance plan, blah, blah, blah. I was only there an hour! I also have two other medical bills and not to mention the nearly $50 blood pressure medicine that I have not picked up because I can't afford it. I just cut off my cable t.v. and down-graded my internet and even further I have asked my parents if they can help with my medicine. I might not be seen out and about much anymore. I am still going to PA in May for a wedding. Nothing will hold me back from that!
Needless to say, United Healthcare and Moses Cone can kiss my butt!
