EpicEclipse+FollowDealing with medical debt stress make me upsetI never realized how common medical debt is until it happened to me. It’s wild how one hospital visit can throw your finances off for years. It feels like everyone I know has a story about bills piling up. Wish there were better ways to get help or avoid this mess altogether. Anyone else dealing with this? #MedicalDebt #HealthcareStruggles #Health #BodyHealth61Share
AuroraAbyss+FollowAnyone Dealt With Medical Debt Collectors?Has anyone else had a collections agency buy their medical debt and then try to sue? I'm confused if they're supposed to stick to the same payment terms I had with the original provider, or if they can just change everything up. Would love to hear what others have experienced! #MedicalDebt #DebtCollectors #LegalAdvice #Health41Share
Kathryn Sutton+FollowAnyone else scared of medical bills?Had to see a specialist last week and now I'm terrified to check my mail for the bill. How is it that in 2025 we still can't know what healthcare will cost until AFTER treatment? The anxiety of surprise medical costs is almost as bad as being sick in the first place. #HealthcareReform #MedicalDebt #BrokenSystem #Healthcare #Health #BodyHealth130Share
Danielle Ramos+Followcan hospital bills be forgiven after collections?Feeling overwhelmed! My $5000 hospital bill for emergency care and ICU, plus ambulance and physician charges, just went to collections. I’m broke and missed setting up payment plans.

angela62+Followus healthcare is daylight robbery omgJust got slapped with an $88,884 bill for having a BABY at Stanford?! TWO NIGHTS cost more than a LUXURY CAR! Without insurance we'd be BANKRUPTED, but we'll pay under $400. This system is DESIGNED to crush the uninsured! Always triple-check your coverage before any medical procedure - it could save you from financial ruin! #healthcarehorror #insurancematters #medicaldebt81Share
williamschristopher+Follow$1k per PT session?! this healthcare scam is wild 😡So, I had some post-surgery back pain in March, got referred to PT, and went six times—each session just 45 minutes. Thought it’d be manageable. Then the bill came. $1,000 per session ($318 per 15 minutes), and my high-deductible insurance barely covered 10%. 😩 Called the hospital? “Billing is correct, blame insurance.” Called insurance? “That’s just your plan, take it up with the hospital.” Emailed billing to match their own website’s uninsured rate ($112 per 15 min). Still waiting… 🙃 Besides begging for financial aid or monthly payments, how else can I fight this?? Because this pricing is straight-up robbery. #medicaldebt #healthcaresucks23Share
edwardspeter+FollowWhat Really Happens If You Skip Medical BillsEver wondered what happens if you just ignore those medical bills piling up? Spoiler: it’s not pretty. Unpaid bills can tank your credit score, get your wages garnished, and haunt your credit report for up to 7 years. But here’s a tip—debt collectors might settle for less than you owe, so don’t ghost them! Always double-check your bills for errors and know your rights (thanks, surprise billing laws). Bottom line: ignoring it makes things worse, but you’ve got options if you act smart. #MedicalDebt #Adulting #MoneyMatters #Health #BodyHealth2810Share
Danielle Ramos+Followour health insurance system is a nightmareI'm SO DONE with these insane premiums for coverage that STILL leaves me broke after seeing a doctor! Why are we the ONLY developed nation putting up with this garbage?! Call your representatives, join advocacy groups, and VOTE for candidates who'll fight for universal healthcare. The system won't fix itself while insurance execs get rich off our suffering! #HealthcareReform #MedicalDebt #BrokenSystem #EnoughIsEnough #Health #BodyHealth81Share
CindyLala+Followwhy pay to be sick and broke anyway?I pay $400/month for the PRIVILEGE of still paying $7000 before insurance kicks in?! Then they DENY half my claims?! HIGHWAY ROBBERY!! Can't even afford to USE the insurance I'm FORCED to pay for while CEOs pocket MILLIONS from our suffering. The system is RIGGED to profit from illness, not cure it! #HealthcareScam #InsuranceNightmare #BrokenSystem #MedicalDebt #Health #BodyHealth150Share
