hey guys psa regarding hospital bills

don’t just pay it. do not automatically pay the hospital bill when you receive it. call your health insurance provider and POLITELY say, “excuse me, i just received a bill for $1200 for my hospital visit/ER visit/etc., is that the correct amount i’m supposed to pay?” because hospitals bill you before your health insurance and they will take your money no matter how the amount due may change based on your health insurance looking at it. 90% of the time, if your health insurance is in any way involved in the payment of that bill, you do not have to pay as much as the hospital is billing you for. call your health insurance provider first, and POLITELY request clarification, always remember that the person you are talking to is human and this is just their job, and then you will very likely find out you actually only owe $500.

don’t shout at anyone about it, don’t get mad, just understand that this is The Way Things Are right now and call your health insurance provider before paying the bill your hospital just sent you. there’s a chance the hospital bill might be correct, true, but call your health insurance provider.

THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT. after my car accident last year the hospital billed me ~$8000. They sent me letters asking me to pay, and I called them back saying my insurance was processing the claim. This is also what I told the collection agency when they kept calling me about the $1000 emergency room fee (billed separately from the hospital fee, mind you). Once everything got straightened out, all I was actually liable for was my $200 emergency copay.

!!!!!!! things my ass didn’t know !!!!!!!!

Yes this is a life lesson my adulting ass didn’t know I needed and I’m out 80 bucks for an anti-nausea pill. 😒😒😒😒😒

So he associates Black hairstyles with “being weird”? Like being black is not only ‘weird’ but also ‘fun’ was getting choked out by Post Malone not enough for you??? #Hate it!

“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement.

“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”

Shout out to all our Mexican brothers and sisters who had to work late last night at bars and restaurants and clean up after gringxs while watching their culture and identity be turned into a mockery.

very interesting

I was just thinking about this. Legacies are extremely common. Then I remember nearly all criticisms of the Obamas trace back to racism.

It’s been such a weird day…

I got fired. But there was a water pipe break and a street cave in that I would have been in the middle of if I had gone to work.

My sister gave me a great offer that would benefit us both a million and now is plausible because I don’t have a job.

My therapist was able to schedule me in at v short notice.

A girl who crushed my feelings and made me feel like shit under her boot in high school stood up for me on Facebook (although the unneeded still nice) and then texted me to apologize for how she treated me.

!!!!! I was saying this last night. She’s religious herself and it’s probably annoying and disrespectful to see that she is constantly being put on the same level as God.

I’m embarrassed for everyone who even remotely thinks being called an average white girl named becky is an actual slur. You’ve really been lucky if that’s the worst thing you’ve been called in reference to your race.

because cinco de mayo is coming up and I’m real sick and tired of seeing people turn in into another drinking holiday where they mock and dress up like “"Mexicans”“ and lump all Latinxs into one group
