  • Medical debt is in no way the same as other debt though. It’s not the same as real debt. For one you’re dealing with the cartel system that is medical insurance. So it’s not a fair Marketplace to begin with. However the real kicker is you don’t have a choice on it. Oftentimes you’re injured and are brought to a hospital and you don’t have time or the ability to call your insurances 24/7 helpline to figure out what the prices are and where what hospital you should go to. Medical debt is often involuntary and a matter of life and death. Not even mentioning the Absurd disgusting costs of it.

    You simply can’t compare it to someone taking too big of a loan for a car. And frankly saying well the real problem is something else doesn’t really help actual living human beings. Because that real problem is not going to be solved and this could have helped people. You can’t let this Pie in the Sky idealism stop us from helping actual people right now. Someone shouldn’t die on the streets because you think an ideal should be achieved first.
