Got to admit swallowing coins is becoming a little more appealing - unlike current savings rates at least you get a little interest. Usually about 2-3 days I've heard
Yeah. My cousin swallowed some coins once when she was little.

100% of the time I'd rather have an ordinary dollar than a bottom dollar. Iderno, the latter just doesn't sound like something I want to handle or have sitting in me pocket
New review in my thread.
Ya bet'cher bottom dollar.
I just hope Annie's okay.

But yeah, that is frustrating. The bigger health insurance companies get, the more red tape you have to cut through.
why you got to be startin' somethin'?
Michael Jackson probably didn't wait that long for a nose swap.

I wish. This was a medical bill that got sent straight to collections, and I only became aware of it after it showed up on my credit report.

They are playing the song and dance game of "we told you about it". Then how come this is the second time this has happened?

Medical collections showing up on a credit report should be illegal. I'm convinced there's an ulterior motive at play because the collection agency is owned by the parent company that controls/runs almost 90% of the medical offices in town.

And for the last two years they have refused to update my patient record even when I have presented legal documentation.

Socialized medicine could not come sooner. I don't care if I have to wait 4 hours to get a nose swap. I'm just sick of this song and dance where I get bounced around from office to office and no one is able to fix the issue.
"You've been a good customer over the years. You know what? Keep the next payment. You've earned it."

I long for that to happen some day.
