Fighting the Financial Medical Monster

I got one of the biggest shocks in my life yesterday when I opened the mail. Inside were two enormous bills for medical services that I've ever received in my life. Once I got over the shock, I was very angry. How could they possibly even think I would play literally thousands of dollars for what little service I received! It's unconscionable and just plain wrong to charge anyone thousands of dollars for bandages, a tetanus shot and a couple of antibiotics. Yes, I am going to fight this. I believe I need to fight it, not just for me but for the others that are being literally "socked" with medical bills that they can't even begin to pay. I say "enough!"

Because of this, there's a very real possibility that my credit rating will be ruined. It is a small comfort that there are others out there that are facing even worse scenarios than I am. It is also comforting to know that there are people willing to help me fight this financial medical monster. I don't know as yet if I'll need a lawyer or not to help me fight these outrageous bills. I hope not.

Will the new healthcare law resolve this? They tout that it will, yet I have a sinking feeling that more and more people will be "socked" with medical bills that they can't even begin to pay.

I do thank the Lord for opening my eyes again to this increasingly dire situation, and pray for a quick solution and victory over the financial medical monster we call the medical profession...namely hospitals, doctors and nurses.
