I think the worse part are nights like tonight. I've snapped at everyone, so I've gone and hidden from the world, only to find another 6 medical bills. I certainly can't yell or ask my wife to help...

Appreciate it.
Some days are good.
Some are not so good.

Oh, I understand. The doctor prices haven't been unreasonable, the hospital has been. I (not this instance) got charged 15k to have a kidney stone blasted. A friend had open surgery for a hernia...

One last thing, I forgot to add. If you ever wonder why doctors, hospitals, etc. are charging so much nowadays... just ask them about how much they pay into malpractice insurance and/or any...

Agreed; great post. That is my beef with Obamacare - it's being spun to the general public as some kind of magical solution. It's not.
In my opinion, Obamacare is great at increasing accessing to...

"Obamacare" is not some kind of alternative to insurance, and was never supposed to be. It's a set of reforms to the insurance industry as well as the requirement to be insured. It was never supposed...

Generally people have very good luck getting on a payment plan with the medical center at 0% interest. This is commonly done and should be your first choice. Dumping this on a credit card is not a...

You can find a cash back card with 0% APR for 12/18mo if you have good credit. However you may not find one with one of these "special" deals you see here on Slickdeals.
