		<description>Wendy, have you tried communicating with the hospital? They usually have a person that will work with you and your financial situation.</description>

		<description>Am wondering where to start with my medical bills. Have one lump sum from hospital. Then lots of extra bills from the doc's that checked in on me. Ranging from $83.00~$15,000.00. How do I begin to pay for these and not go to collections? I work part-time (only job I can find right now, and it's seasonal, ending Jan. 09) $8.50 an hour. Maybe 15-20 hours a week. How's this supposed to happen? I want to make sure to dispute anything overly outrageous on my bills before sending a $. Otherwise I'm screwed and acknowledging my consent to pay all these amounts in full. And will do so, or be harassed by the collections, sued, etc. These bills came after my 8 day stay in the hospital, after emergency room, June 2008.
You seemed to know more about that old adage (my mother mentioned) that sending them payments of $5.00 will keep them at bay and show them a sign of good intention. Not so, I fear.
Obviously, I'm uninsured.
Thanks, and any feedback would be appreciated.

		<description>Crap man. Hit me up for a 125x125 spot. Haven't thought of what to put up there yet but shoot me an email if it's still available and I'll work on a ad this weekend.</description>

		<description>I'm not suggesting to go, static for every ad spots, no.
But having a blog on the right side with 4 or 6 125x125 STATIC ad spots available is a must. Yes it's overdone on other blogs, but sometimes it's better to have a very easily identifiable offer, that most advertisers knows already.

So, start with a few static ad spots at 25$ a month maximum and then move up if you see that the demand is really here.</description>

		<description>I have considered this, and maybe in a few months I will do that. I just wanted to have a different advertising layout then all the other blogs. Keep in mind that in order for me to do that I would have to charge more for a single static spot, then I would for rotating spots.</description>

		<description>I know the thing I totally don't like is the fact that you "offer" only rotative ad spots. If I buy something, I want it to be fixed at that location for the duration of the period.</description>

		<description>Well the good news is that not all hospitals are cold hearted.  They might work out a long term payment plan with you.  

Otherwise, there is always the option of Bankruptcy.  Assuming the equity you have in your home falls within your states bankruptcy exemptions, you could, if necessary follow that route and keep your home. I don't know your income, but $28,000 is a lot of money.  Your credit will be ruined for seven years (although you will probably find yourself getting credit offers much sooner).  But it is worth weighing which is greater, the misery of paying off this unexpected bill or the harm to your credit from a bankruptcy.

The question is very personal and is based on a lot of variables.  It might be worth getting a free consult with a bankruptcy attorney.  BUT do make sure it is your last resort.  Bankruptcies are never enjoyable, but sometimes they are the best alternative.</description>

		<description>"As long as you pay something each month (most med bills have like a five dollar minimum) nothing bad happens."

Hey Israel I feel compelled to let you know that this advice is incorrect.  Something bad can happen even if you send them a payment each month.  Moreover, they are not legally obligated to accept a payment plan from you.  This is coming from someone who has taken (and passed) Bankruptcy law, and worked in the Bankruptcy courts for trustees, debtors, and clerked for a judge.  

Now historically hospitals have been one of the most generous industries when it comes to allowing you long periods of time to pay off your debt.  However, that has all changed quite rapidly in the last decade or so.  If you can get them to agree to a payment plan, good.  But if they won't and you try to send them checks each month, know that this won't mean you aren't at risk.  Like I said, hospitals are increasingly turning over debts to vicious and nasty collections agencies that are simply more efficient (and ruthless) when it comes to collecting debt.</description>

		<description>Gosh the price has gone up since 2000 when I had my appendix taken out.  Back then the bill was $10,000 for the hospital, $2,500 for the doctor.  

Depending on your income (and your wife's) you might want to consider contacting the hospital about any program they might have for those who lack the means to pay their bill.  At the time mine was taken out I was a college student with no income and no health insurance.  My entire hospital bill was wiped clean via a charitable program run by the hospital.  You will probably have to submit proof of income and such assuming you qualify.  It is something worth looking into.</description>

		<description>Hey Israel,

Keep your chin up no matter what. I'd love to buy sponsorship but with my site being 7 days old even the "fine dining" section wouldn't fit in here. It's a great offer. I also wanted to give you a shout out about ChipIn, a program that seems to work for some things. You can see it running on a site called wiredpig.us (its a police officers personal blog).

Good luck.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Israel,</p>
<p>Keep your chin up no matter what. I&#8217;d love to buy sponsorship but with my site being 7 days old even the &#8220;fine dining&#8221; section wouldn&#8217;t fit in here. It&#8217;s a great offer. I also wanted to give you a shout out about ChipIn, a program that seems to work for some things.

<p>Good luck.</p>

		<description>As well as making a minimum payment, talk to them and negotiate the bills. That is what insurance companies do and you can to and there is a good chance you can get them lowered. Here is some info to get you started

		<description>Hi Israel - I will take a featured ad on the sidebar please.  But, I am not very wordpress savvy.  Will it work ok if I make the ad in Photoshop?  Email me to let me know and also how to pay.

Medical costs over there are horrendous.  And I know that health insurance is not cheap either.  

I know people complain about the NHS in our country - but we are lucky we have it.

How long will they give you to pay?</description>
