Single Payer Health Systems

The year my husband moved to medicare TFG changed the subsidies and I no longer qualified for help with ACA.

$275,000 later, we dealt with 13 separate entities, from th eambulance to the local hospital ER to the big heart center's many specialists.

We paid about 1/4 of that bill over time. Except for the ambulance services, every group offered deep cash discounts, and the hospitals have programs to help people with their bills. Fun fact with medical bills: pay $5 a month forever, and they can't come after you.
