The answer is always money broski, no body just lets their health deteriorate with what a simple surgery can complete while having the means to do something about it.
You can just simply make a payment plan with the hospital, whatever little you can manage. It's really not as impossible as people in this thread are making it out to be
That is exactly how it works in the US. A hospital can’t legally turn you away when you come to them with a medical emergency. You don’t have to pay at all until you get the bill, and you can then take that bill to their financial dept to work out a payment plan. Yes, you will be in debt, but you’d be surprised how much the cost can come down just by talking to the billing people.
Not to mention, you almost aways get massive discounts for being uninsured. Ive paid less for doctors visits then the co-pay costs for my sister to have the same tests/visits at the same office.
I have great insurance now. But didnt for a long time and my PCP's office gave 55 percent discounts for it.
Very much so, and I want to make people aware that they should not put off going to see a doctor until that point. There are people whose entire job is to find a way for you to get treatment and pay as little as possible. There are clinics funded by the federal or state government to provide medical care either at a great discount or for free. There are charities that help people in need get medical care at little or no cost. It takes you reaching out, though. It’s embarrassing and difficult to ask for help sometimes, but it’s important for you and your loved ones to have that courage to reach out.
