This was a settlement for quite a bit less than they had originally wanted). 11:30 AM: Go to Fred Meyer to get some headphones for work and take out $100 cash back at the self serve register to pay a friend back for concert tickets.

I'd rather save my credit and save myself from the barrage of collections calls.

Insurance is a scam. I'm not sure I'd pay the bills with a credit card. Just make payments to the doctor interest free. I don't think there is anything they can do to you if you are making payments, but I could be wrong. I had an MRI and owed $1500 and I just make payments. They will usually work with you on it. Just my 2 cents.... I had the same thing happen to me….the whole pre-existing condition crap. Insurance is a scam. I’m not sure I’d pay the bills with a credit card.

I thought they were going to go ahead and start paying bills after they asked me for a notarized affidavit saying I did not know I was sick on my first day of work. Ultimately, their lawyers thought they had a case. Thank God for credit cards! Yeah, I thought they were kidding too but no.
