I have a friend who worked in the business office at one of our hospitals and she told me... they negotiate all the time for people who have huge bills. Try that route. AT least get some knocked off the total cost!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00414103238432496669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-67164997289723040992009-09-09T09:55:36.999-04:002009-09-09T09:55:36.999-04:00Robin - iced lattes are the bane of budgets.

They still left me with about $40k to pay out of pocket.<br /><br />Jay - I've researched a few and don't see any that seem both helpful and on the level, but the new law requires you to use one of the many on the federal list before you can file.<br /><br />Whitemist - unfortunately, the ones I've met expect me to be the rich one.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040058320473775641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-83706467124548571122009-09-08T21:00:16.792-04:002009-09-08T21:00:16.792-04:00I think the marring Bunny idea rocks...I think the marring Bunny idea rocks...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04414561988993487725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-58220687015771644152009-09-08T17:22:14.038-04:002009-09-08T17:22:14.038-04:00I don't trust any of the credit counseling gro...I don't trust any of the credit counseling groups. They all look like scams to me. Luckily for me, I filed bankruptcy way back in '97, before Dubya and Joe Biden got together to protect he banks from the citizens. <br /><br />You can still declare, but I guess it's much harder. You can always contact a lawyer. Most of them won't charge you for the initial consultation. <br /><br />Or you can find a rich bunny willing to marry you. ;-)Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134850383532818765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-59904988658694651852009-09-08T17:13:57.380-04:002009-09-08T17:13:57.380-04:00Many hospitals offer charity discounts where they&...Many hospitals offer charity discounts where they'll write off all or some of your debt. I don't know if you've tried this or not, but you can always call them and ask if they have anything like that and see if you can qualify. It doesn't hurt to try, if you haven't already. <br /><br />If I wasn't a broke bitch, I would totally donate money to you. One day I'll have deep pockets that are actually FULL and I'll share with you. Promise. <br /><br />Speaking of Asian prostitutes....Joe's friend's girlfriend is a real live hook..um I mean massage therapist in a happy endings place in NYC. She makes 300k a year. She's cute. You would think she's a smokin' hot bunny! When's your birthday? Maybe I'll buy you a happy ending. <br /><br />Her boyfriend's name is Mike and when she calls for him she says, "MIKE-RAUL!" I crack up every time. <br /><br />Anyway, call the hospital if you haven't. Sometimes there are nice people willing to work with you.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361464759647140359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-16362401001020393362009-09-08T15:32:26.705-04:002009-09-08T15:32:26.705-04:00Can't even rob a bank these days since their c...Can't even rob a bank these days since their currency is either digital or fictitious.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567372758347040220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-69571473089739406622009-09-08T15:09:10.091-04:002009-09-08T15:09:10.091-04:00Ugh this really REALLY sucks Grant. and it totally...Ugh this really REALLY sucks Grant. and it totally blows that Jebus W.
