Hello everyone! Don’t have a lot to say, finally got around to making the new mega.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
Received a 40k hospital bill from my time in the ICU today because Medicaid didn’t want to cover it. I love America so much
In the grim dark future of western civilization, there is only medical debt
Disturbing. I’m so sorry. Are you able to fight the rejection?
Idk anything about how to do that, but after the CEO got shot, I read how people more often receive previously rejected coverage the more repeatedly and insistently they fight with more requests. Because Anthem insurance keeps track of who will cave upon rejection amd who’s not worth the time trying to keep rejecting. (Anthem is who privatized Medicaid, right?)
In the meantime, maybe you can set up a mutual aid fund about this.
That is insane…sorry you’re having to deal with this and hope you’re holding up ok
Ouch. What happens if someone can’t pay it?
My credit takes a massive hit, but that’s pretty much it. Can kiss my opportunity of getting out of sober living good-bye though
Why?
Need credit to be a renter, don’t need credit to be in sober living
