being a student, what exactly has changed for you in this economy, other than how you feel when you read/listen/read the news?

Keep your health insurance. I let my health insurance briefly lapse after I graduated from college. I felt fine. Even saw the doctor one last time. Then I wake up one morning in so much pain that I was throwing up.

Damned kidney stones cost me $8,000. Out of my own pocket.

--Dude, my kid doesn't give a flying flip what he pisses on. It's my problem when his diaper leaks.

Here's what you do.

Show up in the ER of a neighboring town with no ID dressed as a homeless person.

They will HAVE to treat you, if you don't give your correct name or info they will have no way to bill you.

People abuse the ERs all the time. You might as well be one of them.

Well, I tried to get away with just going to Urgent Care.

The doctor took one look at me as I barfed in the exam room trashcan and sent me to the ER.

After $6,000, a diagnosis, and a prescription, I went home and took the medicine. I was allergic to the medicine and my husband had to rush me back to the ER for another $2,000.
