That’s why I don’t understand why the American people don’t want Universal HEALTHCARE like Canada has then they wouldn’t need to worry about their finances and yes I know that we pay extra taxes to have it but it’s better than having to pay and worrying how you can pay for your medical expenses. I haven’t had to pay for very many medical expenses.

There are a few non profit organizations the provide financial assistance . Look up financial assistance for medical bills.

Thank you so much for the great information. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.🙂
