^BS.
When I was 22, I developed a DVT (blood clot.) I was told by the doctor, that it was potentially fatal. Definitely, if untreated. But, I had no insurance. The treatment was to hospitalize me. The hospital would NOT take me, without insurance. I had to scramble, and find several financial aid services. That was fun, because I was told that I could be dying. So. It took me two days, just to get into the hospital.
Long story short, I was hospitalized for over a week, and had to have blood tests every other day, for six months.
With my financial aid, I incurred a debt of over $70,000. As I said, I was 22 years old. At the time, I made around $10,000 a year.
To this day, I have suffered from this. I never had good credit, and have always had trouble getting a loan, or housing. This event, that had nothing to do with me, destroyed my life, before it really began. The ACA at least gave me a chance. Due to changes, I don’t even have that anymore. My state (SC) doesn’t take medicaid money, or something like that, so in my tax bracket, I am ineligible.
I know a guy, who had a horrific knee injury in high school. He had several surgeries, accumulating over $1 million in debt, at 16 years old! Yup. Life ruined…
