Bro real shit just don't pay your medical bills. They literally cannot make you pay them, and they are used to insurance companies not paying the full price, so they are already prepared to write it off as a tax loss. You give everyone free healthcare and people will be going to the ER for allergies and it will slow down the entire medical system. You needn't look farther than Canada. At least this way everyone can be seen in a timely manner
They CAN make you pay them. They can go as far as garnishing your wages if you just ignore them.
But in my experience they won't. I've actually done that several times and it was fine. Even so, my credit rating is considered "Excellent" by all the bureaus.
I'm glad you didn't have to experience that.
It's still unethical to give people this advice without explaining possible risks. They very much can go after their money if they feel like it.
