I don't think so, or at least is state dependent, I definitely had medical debt and it was definitely discharged along with all the other debt I had

Yeah medical debt is dischargable, our lawyer asked if we had any surgeries we had been putting off that we might want to get done before we filed.

This is a remarkably dystopian statement lmfao

Guns are easier to get than surgery. Shoot your problems away!

Isn't this some flavour of fraud? Not from the US, so this is all pretty bizarre to me.

Capitalism is a flavor of fraud in and of itself.

If buying isnt owning, piracy isnt stealing.

Yes, but its fraud in a system designed at every level to defraud you, so fuck um. Get healthy in any way you can because the system itself sure won't help you.

They screw you, you screw them is the American way, so bravo for the lawyer for being honest about the game.

Depends on if you think it's stealing to steal from a thief.

It is all fun and games until the repo man comes to rip those knee replacements out.
