You're assuming a whole hell of a lot, odds are good they fucking can't!

You're also assuming that the debt is valid, which is often not the case with medical debt: Shit gets billed wrong, patients may not even receive notice, and by the time it gets to the collection agency, they may not be in a position to contest it.

Glad you're lucky enough that this has never been a problem though, congratulations on your good fortune. You may fancy yourself a self made success, but that is an illusion: Unless you're independently wealthy (perhaps, even if you are), you're only one bad day away from joining those people.

Never forget that.

You sure are making a lot of assumptions.

Ah, my apologies, I didn't realize you were just trolling and I took your comment in earnest. Goodbye! :)
