Was going to send you a message, but I see that it is not an option because I wonder what state you live in, as I assume it is in the U.S. I live in the Midwest.

If you live in the U.S. and I so dislike saying this, BUT some of it comes down to if you live in a red or blue state. Red (conservative), blue (liberal) state.

Also, WELCOME! to SaSu and so darn happy to have you as a new friend.

Lots of hugs and love and, again, WELCOME!

East Coast. Blue.

Thanks! I've been a long time lurker.

Yeah I guess I haven't unlocked my message feature yet.

Plz don't quote this cause I'm gonna delete that location part for anonymity.

Never ever a problem, as we are ALL family here.

If it was me, I would look into 1) I would get into contact with you states human services department. Also, if the medical facility where you were at is nonprofit, then sometimes they either have programs to help OR will "write" part of the bill off.

I live in a blue state, and we have state programs, if one is under a certain threshold on net worth to help. (Medial Assistance programs). I do not know, in my state how much equity one can have to qualify but if it was me, I would be in contact with our state human services department Monday morning.

The old saying: nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Heath care should be free, anything less is just evil.

100% agree.

If humans are going to evolve and move forward, then making sure EVERYONE has access to health care is paramount.
