I'm in the same boat. I've got thousands of dollars from partial hospital and hospitalizations. A lot are in collections right now. I'm trying to work out how to pay them all the minimum amount and still be able to live. Besides that fact I find it impossible to keep track of the bills from month to month anyway. I can't manage it. Especially when I'm depressed. My husband and I just had a huge argument about it.

But as for medical bills I feel like they can't tell you how little you can pay. You should be allowed to pay whatever you can pay no matter what. The collections agency people are just pushy bc they want their money. I agree with the above posters, look into the legalities of the situation. I think you should be able to pay fifteen dollars if you that's all you can afford.

I feel like giving up too. But we can't. Not over medical bills. Someday we will get them paid off. Don't worry.
