I don't have any health insurance. The hospital I work for offers it; however I am 30min a day away from getting it . I acutally work enough to get it most weeks, but I'm only scheduled 20hours a week.. I keep getting told it's not in the budget. I am trying not to go full time because I'm a student and I really don't want to drop out of school because I need health insurance.
I went to the ER when I had a kidney stone, I couldn't take the pain anymore so I went to our ER. I was treated and released and missed 3 days of work with no sick pay. When somone comes to me without insurance and wants to make a payment plan, we let them pay what they can afford monthly. When the business office called me, they wanted to do payroll deduction for my bill (which was fine), but then they told me I would have to have $80 a week deducted from my check!! They told me it was the smallest amount they could take out because they wanted the bill paid off in a year.
That is bull$hit. We let people who have no insurance pay $25 a month on a $3,000 bill and I can't choose?? Noone hase even offered a discount because I'm an employee, but we give soo many people free care, but they can't even give me a itty bitty discount. I think it's bs that they give away financial assistance to people for $200 lab bills!!
