Tired of rising costs ?? Can't afford health insurance ??
Enroll in the FSA and Illegal alien plan. Just drop all coverage and whenever you need a doctor just go to the emergency room !!! When the bill comes, throw it out and never pay !! PRAISE KEK !! |

Hey Akhmed, make certain that you get your free gubment ID card. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/idnyc/about/about.page When you apply for that card, make certain that you get your personal details listed correctly. If you get details like your name/SSN/address incorrect, they'll have a very, very hard time collecting on those medical bills.  |

Yeah, I was going to say that I personally know someone who does what OP suggests. Me, I like the fact that I can buy a home, get a loan for a car, get a job, or rent something where a credit check is required. I like the fact that Sheriffs don't show up at my door serving summons. I like the fact that I am not limited in where I live to places that accept section 8, or "cash only" rental locations. |

The solution is pay cash. Probably get a better deal than insured folks. I've investigated how much things cost paying cash in my neck of the woods. Even if my insurance didn't cover anything, just the fact that I have insurance gets me the contracted rate, which is lower than paying cash. Of course, considering how much insurance now costs (even insurance which pays next to nothing), you'd still need a fair amount of health care just to break even. "Healthcare is too expensive!" "Ooh, I know... let's make it more expensive, and force EVERYONE to pay it!" |

If you're upfront with the med provider and say "I have a very high deductible and this will basically all come from out of pocket, what's your up front, pay now, cash price?" They will usually give you anywhere from 20-40% off. |
| My doctor I pay cash, the hospital after I get the itemized sheet and okay it, gets $25 a month. Once they refused to accept it, and mailed my check back to me. They ate that $2500 bill plus paid the $100 fee my attorney charged for the letter to remove the debt. Good having a cousin as a lawyer, lol. |
