I say just don't pay it. Let them threaten you all they want, they can't put you into collections for medical debt. Throw out their letters, block their collection numbers from calling you, don't give those slime balls a fucking penny.

No, they absolutely put you in collections.

The debt falls off the credit report in several years.

It's also cleared by bankruptcy, and they can't go after your relatives for it, excluding your estate, and let's say that if you have medical debt, your estate probably isn't worth pursuing.

So fuck em.

Not legal advice.

The system is deeply broken in the USA.

Not all of the things that are broken about the system are making things worse for the civilians.

First off, how old's that tweet (or whatever platform that is) you're attempting to provide with "expert" legal advice?

Secondly: That's about the worst legal advice I've ever seen. There are actual productive approaches, but crumbling up the bills and sticking them in your ears, while going lalalalalalala I can't hear you? If you're not even disputing the claim, then you're about to pay the debt somehow, maybe even through seizure of your property.

Not with medical bills. Most of the time you can get away with ignoring them. They sell them to a collection agency for pennies on the dollar, you ignore the phone calls or demand proof that you owe the money.
