re: Medical Debt Should Not Ever Be Used to Harm Credit Worthiness

Yeah, big hospital groups like Ochsner ain't hurting even with outstanding unpaid debt. But you should make the attempt to pay back even though they are fricking you on the pricing.
I'm fine with pushing back and arriving at a new number, because some of their "bills" just look like blatant fishing attempts with no link to reality. We had one "adjusted" when I told them I wasn't paying that amount and my credit could take the hit, but if they'd come up with a reasonable charge I'd be happy to pay it. It was only $800, so I could have paid it but it was absurd for the service offered.
But that's different than just walking away, and I was willing to eat the consequences, not have Daddy Government make them go away.
