So who's going to pay the cost of fixin' you if you have to have some sort of major surgery 'cause a lipo blew up while you were holding it in your teeth?

The joint I goto "Northwest Community Hospital" (NW Illinois) is probably a state type hospital. Its the nicest hospital ive been in. Trust me ive been in alot of them. I imagine a private hospital like "little company of mary" in Torrance California wouldnt help me. NW Community fixed me up many times and then sent me a bill. I did negotiate it to about $26,000 out of the $65,000 they wanted and I paid it cash, so maybe they check your credit before you go in there ? All I know is I will be back there soon knowing myself and If my luzury of getting patched up and paying later is ruined ill be really pissed
Ill add on edit: It pretty much worked out to be the same money, when I had heatlth insurance last in the mid 1990s, if I still worked there and paid for it in 2009 it would have been almost $25,000 so its pretty much a wash. Glad im getting married next month and will then get Walgreens heath ins. lol Thats when I will pull out my quad and longboard again
