America is a corrupt capitalist hellscape. It's why I don't have kids, only go to the doctor when shit happens and never pay the bill.

What a shitty, selfish way to treat the medical people who care for you when you're sick.
They still get paid, what on earth are you talking about?
Why don't you ask them if they mind you stiffing them after they take care of you?
What a shitty way to treat people.
They get paid regardless. It's a crooked system, some of us don't survive without being equally so, especially from companies and entities that barely know you exist to begin with.
Debt goes to collectors, they come calling, I ignore those too. Credit score in the 600's. I'll never afford a home so I don't really care and I buy junk cars with cash from Facebook.
If America is going to be a greedy capitalist shithole then I'm going to be the stingiest turd in the toilet. They want to get paid for healthcare, take it out of my taxes and make it a proper utility like an actual first world country.
You could probably do better buying insurance off the ACA marketplace, even without premium assistance if your job didn't offer insurance.
I pay the same and it covers next to nothing. I'm done paying my medical bills. If they want money I'm insured figure it out with them and don't bother me. I have insurance so my child can. If I could I'd have just them covered. It's significantly cheaper for me not to have it
