So Biden wants to remove medical debt from credit reports to help people who got sick through no fault of their own to try and be able to live a semi-normal life. Mind you, he's not wiping out the debt itself, just having it removed from credit reports so one may qualify for stupid and unnecessary shit like housing or perhaps a car note so you have transportation to work.
Cue the assholes! We're all going to pay more for medical care! These people should have had insurance! Why didn't they use the ACA? We shouldn't pay for their mistakes!
Let's see motherfuckers...
My friend HAD health insurance. She also had a saddle block embolism that put her in the ICU for three weeks. She spent 2 of those in a medically induced coma with a nurse at her side 24/7.
Then she went to a rehab center for 5 weeks, and was discharged home.
At home, she had a home health aide for 3 hrs a day, PT and OT every day. Plus she also had tons of medical equipment and medications.
Oh wait - there were also follow-up doctor's visits, and several charges for ambulance transport.
Don't worry - she was smart and had disability insurance too!
It paid 60% of her salary - clearly more than enough for the mortgage, utilities, food, and insurance.
Plus she ripped off the hospital and got charity care, but the doctors weren't as generous.
How dare she file bankruptcy for the almost $100K in bills that the insurance didn't cover. Freeloader!
When I had my little cellulitis escapade a few weeks ago, I went to the ER.
I paid $280, cause I was getting a 20% discount on my deductible if I paid cash.
Just got a bill for the $175.00 balance.
So if I didn't have a credit card to pay that night, I'd be looking at $525. For a visit that took 20 minutes.
And I have a fantastic insurance plan that pays a shit ton of costs.
I never thought I'd feel this way, but I want all of those whining motherfucking assholes to have a major hospitalization and then tell them 'So sorry, but you shouldn't have gotten sick if you couldn't pay the bill. I hope you're not expecting ME to cover any of it!"
