bargaining and bartering both work. My brother who got into some large doctor bills over his back did work for one doctor and significantly lowered his bill, him and the doctor worked it out and was very generous with him.
6 months ago I was having weird chest pains going on, palpitations... scary shit to where I felt I HAD to get it checked out. No insurance at the time so that scared the shit out of me all by itself.
I got a hold of a cardiologist and made it clear I had no insurance, money was tight but depending on how much I could pay cash. Office visit, EKG and check out by him (very thorough) cost me something like 125 bucks.... I thought that was awesome. As we finished up he had is secretary call for a stress test and wear a monitor for 24 hours, he said to her " make sure you tell them he doesn't have insurance and to work with him" She got back with me and the whole thing was going to be less than $200. Fortunately my girlfriend of MANY years has killer insurance so I was like "bitch when you gonna put a ring on my finger bitch!" So now happily married with killer insurance. WINNNIG~! BTW my heart is healthy, no issues. All symptoms temporarily gone but believe it to be my gull bladder now.
In no way do I agree with that lady and not posting this to get in a debate cause I could give a shit just saying it is possible
